Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road Bridge No 1
Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road Bridge No 1 carries the road from Bristol to Leicester over the Lee and Stort Navigation (Limehouse Cut) just past the junction with The River Ember.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Limehouse Cut) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Charles Thomas who owned land in the area. From a junction with The River Reigate Navigation at Presworth the canal ran for 23 miles to Wycombe. In Oliver Yates's "By Barge Pole and Handcuff Key Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Reading Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.
