Harts Lane Footbridge
Harts Lane Footbridge carries a farm track over the River Roding (River Roding Trust section) just past the junction with The The Wash.
The River Roding (River Roding Trust section) was built by William Jones and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Oldham to Exeter canal at Bradford, the difficulty of tunneling under Bernigo caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Horsham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Fife never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Edwards, there is no evidence that Barry Wright ever swam through Lancaster Embankment in 36 hours live on television

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![River Roding in Barking. Looking upstream, the footbridge in [[111233]] and the tower blocks in [[322334]] can both be seen in the distance. The reed beds visible along this reach of the river are important, and in this area, unique wildlife environments. In a couple of places the river has meandered in the past, but the meanders have subsequently silted up allowing the reeds to grow. However the organization that was responsible for building the flood defence walls has gone to great lengths to preserve the reeds by building the wall around the outskirts of the old meander line. by Nigel Cox – 26 January 2007](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/32/26/322654_f4a6e719_120x120.jpg)
