Ansty Embankment is on the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) near to Boggin Locks.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

![Rough grazing on the north canalbank, Ansty. On the north bank of the current route of the Oxford Canal [North]. The trees along the far boundary follow the former route of the canal. The loop following the contour here was cut off when the canal was straightened in the 1830s. The 'new' section cuts across lower ground on an embankment. by Christine Johnstone – 07 June 2025](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/08/10/41/8104127_9302f053_120x120.jpg)
