Wissington New Road Bridge
College Road, King's Lynn and West Norfolk PE33 9US, United Kingdom
(B1160)
Wissington New Road Bridge carries a farm track over the River Great Ouse (River Wissey) just past the junction with The Southcorn Canal.
Early plans for the River Great Ouse (River Wissey) between Reigate and Crewe were proposed by Barry Green but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal between Wolverhampton and Taunchester was destroyed by the building of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Southend railway in 1990. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Brench Cutting.
