Railway Bridge No 127A (disused) 
Railway Bridge No 127A (disused) carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood).
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Ipswich, the canal was never completed beyond Westcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was closed in 1955 when Charnwood Cutting collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith navigated Salford Locks in a bathtub for a bet.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring). Mooring opposite the lake. Perfect spot for a lazy stroll around Westport Lake as well!.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Bridge access to Westport Lake. This is the only vehicular route into and out of Westport Lake car park, and crosses the Trent and Mersey Canal, where it is designated Bridge 127A (see [[[2396943]]] and [[[4297024]]].) If it somewhat resembles a railway bridge, that is because it was! The railway line, a token relic of which is preserved a short distance away in the Lake park at [[[4295090]]], ran across this bridge and under Davenport Street to join the Potteries Loop Line. by Jonathan Hutchins – 30 December 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/29/70/4297016_90de6b39_120x120.jpg)
