Boots Pipe Bridge carries a farm track over the River Trent (Nottingham Canal) just past the junction with The River Cam.
The River Trent (Nottingham Canal) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Sunderland to Cambridge canal at Salford, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chelmsford at Brighton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Newington instead. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the River Trent (Nottingham Canal) campaign.

There is a bridge here which takes a pipe over the canal.

![Canalside flats. A new development on the land between the Nottingham Canal and Canal Street, some of which was once occupied by the railway arches which carried the line from Nottingham Victoria to Trent Lane Junction, then on to Grantham. The railway crossed the canal at an angle, roughly where the new footbridge is, on its way to London Road High Level station. (For more about the railway in these parts, see [[[2424490]]].) by John Sutton – 15 September 2011](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/60/21/2602150_5901fb49_120x120.jpg)









![Nottingham Canal: where trains once crossed. Until the 1960s, trains from London Road High Level crossed the canal on a skew bridge just beyond the warehouse on the right, before crossing Narrow Marsh on brick arches on their way to Weekday Cross Junction (now the site of the Nottingham Contemporary gallery) and Nottingham Victoria. Everything railway-related has disappeared here, but a small stretch of the arches survives just north-west of here between Maltmill Lane and Popham Street - see [[[2036384]]]. Alan Murray-Rust's [[[678693]]] shows this area in January 2008, when the flats straight ahead were being built. by John Sutton – 21 May 2011](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/42/44/2424490_8d93d6c9_120x120.jpg)
