Junction 19 Road Bridge No 162C
Junction 19 Road Bridge No 162C carries the M5 motorway over the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) a few kilometres from Wigan.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

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

![Grand Union Canal: Silted up bay. The towpath side of the canal makes a large semi-circular bay just to the north of [[1646566]]. The bay appears to have silted up over time and although boat-users would probably pass it by without realising its presence, it makes a large deviation away from the canal for towpath walkers and cyclists. It appears to be too large for a canal narrowboat turning bay, so what was its purpose?The only clue comes from the older editions of the large scale Ordnance Survey mapping. The 1883 version shows a rectangular building described as a mill (plus some other but indecipherable words), in the centre of the bay. Later editions refer to the building, which has long since been demolished, as a pumping house.On the first day of the new decade the shadow of the motorway embankment above it had prevented any sun from reaching most of it and the water and reeds remain resolutely frozen hard. by Nigel Cox – 01 January 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/64/66/1646600_8e2ff6c0_120x120.jpg)
