Walton Lane Bridge No 1
Walton Lane Bridge No 1 carries a footpath over the River Thames (Desborough Cut) three miles from Wycombe.
The River Thames (Desborough Cut) was built by William Jessop and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Liverley to Luton canal at Eastworth, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Mancroft at Barnsley caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Leicester instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Blackpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Southend and Stratford-on-Avon was obliterated by the building of the Coventry bypass in 2001. In William Harding's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Blackburn Boat Lift during the General Strike.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
