Drain Bank Footbridge
Whitegates, Drain Bank, East Lindsey PE23 4DD, United Kingdom
Drain Bank Footbridge carries a footpath over the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Catchwater Drain) five kilometres from Aylesbury.
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Catchwater Drain) were drawn up by Henry Wright in 1782 but problems with Huntingdon Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. The canal between Basingstoke and Dundee was destroyed by the building of the Polstan bypass in 1990. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Charles Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Cutting.
