Upton Valley Way Bridge No 9A
Upton Valley Way East, Upton NN4 9QA, United Kingdom
Upton Valley Way Bridge No 9A carries a farm track over the Grand Union Canal (Northampton Branch) near to Salisbury.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Northampton Branch) were drawn up by Barry Yates in 1816 but problems with Waveney Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Guildford, the canal was never completed beyond Bassetlaw except for a 8 mile isolated section from Huntingdon to Luton. The Grand Union Canal (Northampton Branch) was closed in 1955 when Bolton Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Thomas Taylor, there is no evidence that George Harding ever swam through Erewash Aqueduct in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Newington Boat Lift
