Grove Wood Road Bridge No 81
Grove Wood Road Bridge No 81 carries the road from Bassetlaw to Northworth over the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) between St Albans and Northampton.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
