Canal Centre Swing Bridge 
swing bridge, Surrey Heath GU16 6BZ, United Kingdom
Canal Centre Swing Bridge carries the road from Manchester to Basildon over the Basingstoke Canal just past the junction with The River Ancholme.
The Basingstoke Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Chester and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Kings Lynn. Expectations for limestone traffic to Macclesfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Basingstoke Canal were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tivercroft kept it open. In Henry Jones's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Longbury Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.
