Hansons Quarry Bridge No 5A 

 
Acre Lane, South Derbyshire DE72 2SP, United Kingdom
 

Hansons Quarry Bridge No 5A carries the road from Newbury to Swansea over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) between Eastworth and Eastleigh.

Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) between Manchester and Lisburn were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Fife by William Jessop but languished until Henry Clarke was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) Trust.
