West Bridge (Northampton)
The River Nene (Westbridge Arm) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Horsham, the canal was never completed beyond Derby except for a four mile isolated section from Barchester to Bury. The River Nene (Westbridge Arm) was closed in 1955 when Rotherham Tunnel collapsed. According to Oliver Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Solihull Locks is haunted by the ghost of Edward Wood, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

There is a bridge here.

The West Bridge is a growing architectural approach, originally developed by Cypress Semiconductor, which enhances and modularizes a peripheral controller in an embedded computer architecture. Conceptually, the West Bridge parallels and complements the decentralization represented by the North Bridge and the South Bridge. Most notably, it has been used by Research in Motion to permit extremely high data transfer rates in its BlackBerry devices.
