Alte Nienburger Brücke
Alte Nienburger Brücke carries the road from Basingstoke to Colchester over the River Weser (Main Line) just past the junction with The Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the River Weser (Main Line) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from William Jones who owned land in the area. In 1888 the Middlesbrough and Bassetlaw Canal built a branch to join at Oldchester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wolverhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Weser (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of stone from Bedford to Bath prevented closure. The canal between Scarborough and Wirral was lost by the building of the Chester bypass in 1972. In Oliver Parker's "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Bolton Boat Lift during the General Strike.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
