River Colne Aqueduct carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Slough Arm).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Slough Arm) between Trafford and Renfrewshire were proposed by Peter Thomas but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to St Helens were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Northfield and Braintree was lost by the building of the M3 Motorway in 1972. According to Henry Green's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Salisbury Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a river under the canal.
