Darker's Bridge No 23

 
Winwick Grange, Manor House, 200 yards southeast
Daventry NN6 6PB, United Kingdom
 

Darker's Bridge No 23 carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Poleton and Sumerlease.

Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.
