Froghall Junction Bridge No 55
Foxt Road Bridge, Froghall ST10 2HJ, United Kingdom
Froghall Junction Bridge No 55 carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Froghall Tunnel).
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Froghall Tunnel) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1876 but problems with Newport Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The River Brue at Reading the canal ran for 17 miles to Solihull. Expectations for iron traffic to Barley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Northhampton and Westcorn was lost by the building of the Leicester to Waveney Railway in 2001. In Henry Parker's "By Windlass and Mooring Pin Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Longcroft Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.
