Halfway Bridge No 34 
Address is taken from a point 305 yards away.
Halfway Bridge No 34 carries a footpath 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.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), piling suitable for hooks. a couple of quiet spots between Bridge 33 and 34. Wooden planks along sheet piling but hooks or chains work.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Grand Union Canal: Leicester Section: Bridge Number 34. This crossing of the canal is just a farmers' accommodation bridge. The bridge is part of the original canal infrastructure and probably dates from no later than 1814 when the route was opened. Some of the bridges along this canal are Grade II Listed, although the selection of which merit this status appears purely arbitrary. The nearby and near identical [[3465971]] is listed whereas this one is not. by Nigel Cox – 08 May 2013](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/46/59/3465976_fecdd98a_120x120.jpg)
