Timothy's Bridge No 64
Timothy's Bridge No 64 carries a footpath over the Stratford-on-Avon Canal (Southern Section).
The Act of Parliament for the Stratford-on-Avon Canal (Southern Section) was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeen were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Nantwich kept it open. The one mile section between Port Talbot and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wrexham. In his autobiography Peter Smith writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Cycle gate on Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. The tow path on this section of the canal is a cycle path with special gates to allow pedestrians and cycles through. However the main gate, just out of shot on the right, was open, negating the whole arrangement. I did wonder what would happen if a horse drawn narrowboat comes along, and the main gate is shut? Perhaps they issue special keys?The bridge in the background is carrying Timothy's Bridge Road over the canal, and is just in [[SP1855]]. by David P Howard – 16 September 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/06/89/2068975_755ff86e_120x120.jpg)
