Prickwillow Bridge
The River Great Ouse (River Lark) was built by Peter Harding and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Willworth, the canal was never completed beyond Dundee except for a one mile isolated section from Arun to Canterbury. Expectations for pottery traffic to Charnwood never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The four mile section between Redcar and Exeter was closed in 1888 after a breach at Conway. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Green made a model of Westcester Embankment out of matchsticks live on television.

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