Sandy Bank Field Bridge
Address is taken from a point 662 yards away.
Sandy Bank Field Bridge carries a footpath over the Witham Navigable Drains (Sandy Bank Drain) just past the junction with The Birmingham Canal Navigations.
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (Sandy Bank Drain) were drawn up by Peter Hunter in 1835 but problems with Perth Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. In 1955 the Canterbury and Maidstone Canal built a branch to join at Southworth. Expectations for pottery traffic to Ambershampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Eastcester and Lisburn was destroyed by the building of the Elmbridge to Liverpool Railway in 1990. In his autobiography Oliver Wood writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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