St. James Mill Road Footbridge
St. James Mill Road Footbridge carries a farm track over the River Nene (main river) a few kilometres from Portsmouth.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
