Rugeley Railway Bridge No 65B carries the M1 motorway over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) three miles from Nottingham.
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.

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

![Bridge over the Trent and Mersey Canal at Rugeley, Staffordshire. The railway line goes to Stafford, and also Stone. The adjacent newer railway bridge (behind the camera) carried a line (which has now been dismantled) to the power station.[[[1681477]]] by Roger D Kidd – 22 October 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/68/16/1681604_c1034832_120x120.jpg)
