Prior to the major extraction of gravel in the 1950s and the subsequent flooding of the gravel pits on the west side of the canal here the area between the canal and the River Colne was farmland known as Harefield Moor. This bridge, which is now blocked so that no one can use it, afforded access to this agricultural area, to the left, from Broadwater Farm, which is to the right.
