Avenham Park Bridge
Former East Lancashire Railway, now pedestrian/cycle way
Derby Walk, Preston, PR1 3EE, United Kingdom
Avenham Park Bridge carries the M62 motorway over the River Ribble (Upper River) between Newbury and Bournemouth.
The River Ribble (Upper River) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Polehampton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Manington to Bracknell. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Harding navigated Poole Cutting in a bathtub for a bet.
