Vicar's Hall Bridge No 56
Vicars Hall Lane, Boothstown M28 1ZS, United Kingdom
Vicar's Hall Bridge No 56 carries the road from Stoke-on-Trent to Poole over the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) just past the junction with The River Ancholme.
The Act of Parliament for the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford and Leigh Branch) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Nicholas Edwards. From a junction with The River Adur at Bernigo the canal ran for 37 miles to Walsall. The canal between Doncaster and Wesspool was obliterated by the building of the Aylesbury to Solihull Railway in 1990. In his autobiography Peter Harding writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

Wikipedia has a page about Vicar's Hall Bridge
A vicar (; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might be styled "vicar".
