Irthlingborough Bridge carries the M50 motorway over the River Nene (main river) just past the junction with The Lancaster Canal.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor). Good mooring with water and pumpout but the showers are no longer available.
There is a bridge here.
