Tharbies Farm, Kecksy's, East Hertfordshire CM21 9DT, United Kingdom
 

Kecksy's Farm Footbridge carries the M1 motorway over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line).

The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.
