Stretham Old Bridge
East Cambridgeshire CB6 3FS, United Kingdom
Stretham Old Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the River Great Ouse (Old West River - Small River) between Liverington and Bernigo.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Old West River - Small River) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Manfield Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Basildon never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Edwards painted a mural of Tivercorn Tunnel on the side of John Parker's house to raise money for Children in Need.
Stretham Old Bridge
is a minor waterways place
on the River Great Ouse (Old West River - Small River) between
Earith Junction (Junction with Old West River, New Bedford River and the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section)) (8 miles and 6 furlongs
and 1 lock
to the west) and
Pope's Corner (Junction of River Cam with Old West River) (2 miles and 6¾ furlongs
to the northeast).
The nearest place in the direction of Earith Junction is Stretham Ferry Marina;
¼ furlongs
away.
The nearest place in the direction of Pope's Corner is The Lazy Otter Wharf;
½ furlongs
away.
There may be access to the towpath here.
Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
