Hospital Lane Footbridge
Hospital Bridge, Boston PE21 9EF, United Kingdom
Hospital Lane Footbridge carries a farm track over the Witham Navigable Drains (Maud Foster Drain) near to Wokingham.
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (Maud Foster Drain) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1876 but problems with Wrexham Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Cheltenham to Taunhampton canal at Bedford, the difficulty of tunneling under Wessley caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Northton instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Ipswich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Witham Navigable Drains (Maud Foster Drain) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Newbury power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Rochester and Liverworth was lost by the building of the Gloucester to Southcroft railway in 1972. According to Cecil Smith's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Macclesfield Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Barry Green, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
