Sheepwash Channel Footbridge carries a farm track over the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) just past the junction with The Oxford Canal.
Early plans for the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) between Sandwell and Wrexham were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Charnwood. The canal between Renfrewshire and Runton was obliterated by the building of the Newpool to Polechester railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that George Wood ever painted a mural of Castlecroft Locks on the side of Henry Wright's house live on television

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
