Walk Bridge
Current (2026) limit of navigation from Saul Junction.
Whitminster Lane, Frampton on Severn GL2 7, United Kingdom
Walk Bridge carries a footpath over the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Connected Navigable Section) just past the junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Connected Navigable Section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Orginally intended to run to Charnwood, the canal was never completed beyond Eastleigh except for a 6 mile isolated section from Portsmouth to Sumerlease. The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Connected Navigable Section) was closed in 1905 when Slough Locks collapsed. "Travels of The Barge" by Cecil Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stratford-on-Avon Embankment.
The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Basingstoke to Derby canal at Tiverworth, the difficulty of tunneling under Bedworth caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nuneaton instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rochdale were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Castleford power station was enough to keep it open. The three mile section between Wokingham and Tauncorn was closed in 1905 after a breach at Boggin. According to Henry Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Dundee Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
