Not a hint but here's some History you might find interesting. 😁 The Grand Union Canal is a waterway in England that was originally built to connect London and Birmingham. It was constructed in several phases over a period of more than 100 years, beginning in the late 18th century. Radford Road Bridge, also known as Bridge Number 35, is located on the canal in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. The section of the Grand Union Canal that includes Radford Road Bridge was first opened in 1799, as part of the Warwick and Napton Canal. This canal was designed to connect the town of Warwick with the Oxford Canal, which in turn provided a link to the rest of the country's canal network. In 1929, the Warwick and Napton Canal was purchased by the Grand Union Canal Company, which had been formed through the amalgamation of several smaller canal companies. The Grand Union Canal Company set about modernizing and upgrading the canal network, including widening the canal and constructing new bridges and locks. Radford Road Bridge was one of the structures that was rebuilt during this period of modernization. The original bridge was a narrow brick structure, but it was replaced in the early 1930s with a wider, steel-trussed bridge that could accommodate larger boats and barges. The new bridge was completed in 1932, and it still stands today as a testament to the engineering ingenuity of the time. Since its construction, Radford Road Bridge has been an important landmark on the Grand Union Canal, providing a crossing point for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. It is also a popular spot for boating enthusiasts, who can navigate the canal through the bridge's arches and enjoy the scenic surroundings of Leamington Spa.

A fine example of a Warwickshire town. Lovely old town centre with plenty of options for refreshments.

The bridge below the road deck retains the original red brick from 1795, when 20 men were taken on to dig clay to make bricks for the canal works.
