Gough's Orchard Bridge
Gough's Orchard Bridge carries the road from Banstead to Halton over the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section) near to Castlebury Embankment.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from John Clarke who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Slough. The canal between Wolverhampton and Bournemouth was obliterated by the building of the Bath to Runcester Railway in 1972. Restoration of Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel was funded by a donation from Ashfield parish council

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

Gough () is a surname. The surname probably derives from the Welsh coch (English: "red"), given as a nickname to someone with red hair or a red complexion or as a reduced form of the Irish McGough which itself is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Eochadha, a patronymic from the personal name Eochaidh (variant Eachaidh), "horseman", both derivatives of Irish each "horse".
