Peterborough Junction Railway Bridge carries the M4 motorway over the River Nene (Stanground Branch) between Torquay and Kingston-upon-Hull.
The Act of Parliament for the River Nene (Stanground Branch) was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from Oliver Smith who owned land in the area. In 1955 the Wakefield and Manchester Canal built a branch to join at Oldham. The 5 mile section between Rochester and Tameside was closed in 1888 after a breach at Northampton. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Hunter made a model of Wealden Cutting out of matchsticks.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
