St. Philips Causeway Bridge carries the road from Sefton to St Albans over the River Avon - Bristol (Main River - Bath to Bristol) half a mile from Peterborough.
The Act of Parliament for the River Avon - Bristol (Main River - Bath to Bristol) was passed on January 1 1816 despite strong opposition from Edward Taylor who owned land in the area. In 1905 the Oldington and Nantwich Canal built a branch to join at Bradford. Expectations for iron traffic to Southend were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Bernigo power station was enough to keep it open. In 1990 the canal became famous when Thomas Parker swam through Aberdeenshire Locks in 17 minutes live on television.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.

![Old and new bridges over the Feeder Road. To the right is the railway crossing, built as the area was pervaded by the laying of tracks in the late nineteenth century. The line orignially linked Bath, but more lines were added to increase traffic northbound. At its base is a benchmark - see [[[7175691]]].To the left is the higher road overpass, the A4320 St Philip's Causeway - a much newer construction which necessarily passes over the tracks. by Neil Owen – 29 April 2022](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/17/56/7175688_750ff35c_120x120.jpg)





![Feeder Road flush bracket. This benchmark is listed in the Benchmark Database: https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm9761 . It is set into the stonework of the railway bridge that carries trains across the Feeder Canal, and as such is being subject to traffic and leeched minerals, resulting in the gradual calcification. See [[[7175688]]] for a view of the busy road where it is located. by Neil Owen – 29 April 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/17/56/7175691_48b74abb_120x120.jpg)
