Cathiron Bridge No 41 carries a farm track over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) near to Cambridge.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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

![Oxford Canal at Cathiron. View south-east down the Oxford Canal from bridge no.38 (an unnamed bridleway bridge) to Cathiron Bridge (no.41) ahead (seen also here: [[457750]]). On the right, beyond the moored boat, is a Horseley Ironworks bridge (no.40) ([[457733]]), taking the towpath over the original alignment of the canal, bypassed by the cutting through Cathiron bridge in 1828. The old alignment remains in use underneath Cathiron Lane (where the bridge has been rebuilt) into Brinklow Marina ([[457731]]): http://www.brinklowmarina.com . by Hugh Craddock – 27 May 2008](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/82/54/825458_22a8f891_120x120.jpg)
