Smeaton Lane Aqueduct No 28 carries a farm track over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line).
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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

![Smeaton Lane Aqueduct. This aqueduct carries the (North) Oxford Canal over Smeaton Lane. It would have been built around 1829, when the canal was greatly shortened, as the original alignment can still be seen through Stretton Wharf and passing underneath Smeaton Lane about 300m further north-east. After passing underneath the canal, the road also passes underneath the West Coast mainline railway: see [[79801]] for the view from the other end. by Hugh Craddock – 28 May 2008](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/83/49/834993_dba0e2ea_120x120.jpg)
