Tewkesbury Marina Bridge
Tewkesbury Marina Bridge carries a footpath over the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) five kilometres from York.
Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

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

Beyond the bridge is the marina.The market town of Tewkesbury is sited at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon, some 9 miles north of Gloucester, close to the border with Worcestershire. Founded in Saxon times, the town thrived and there are many medieval and Tudor buildings including Tewkesbury Abbey, bought by the townspeople to use as their parish church. One of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses was the Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on 4 May 1471. by Michael Dibb – 18 May 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/89/47/6894754_1dff3812_120x120.jpg)
