Pretty PigsSituated close to the Staffordshire/Warwickshire County line
(Staffs side) this pipe bridge was part of the UK oil pipeline
network opened in 1969.
The pipe bridge exploited the narrowing
where an old bridge, carrying a spur line of the Glascote &
Amington Colliery Railway over the canal, once stood.
It was
demolished in summer 2016
