Address is taken from a point 2565 yards away.
Sparford Bridge No 41 carries the M3 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.
