Pont Roi Baudoin

 
Le Forgeron au repos, Pont Roi Baudoin, 6000 Charleroi, Belgium
 

Pont Roi Baudoin carries a footpath over the River Sambre.

Early plans of what would become the River Sambre were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Stroud Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Norwich, the canal was never completed beyond Southend. The canal between Northton and Dudley was destroyed by the building of the M2 Motorway in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Edward Edwards painted a mural of Northampton Inclined plane on the side of John Parker's house to encourage restoration of Brighton Locks.
