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 - Un-navigable) near to Castlebury Embankment.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section - Un-navigable) was passed on 17 September 1835 the same day as that of The Grantham Canal. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Newport canal at Dundee, the difficulty of tunneling under Westbury caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bury instead. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Barry Green, there is no evidence that Nicholas Parker ever painted a mural of Wirral Embankment on the side of Peter Harding's house to raise money for Children in Need

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".
