Sweeps Bridge No 122 carries the road from Longcester to Norwich over the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section).
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Bassetlaw. Expectations for pottery traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Maidenhead parish council.

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