Grand Union Canal: Bridge Number 80A

Bridge Number 80A is a footbridge linking the Downhead Park and Willen Park areas of Milton Keynes. Incidentally there is no Bridge Number 80 any more. This number was originally allocated to a long demolished (prior to Milton Keynes being built) swing bridge just to the north of where the entrance to the Pennyland Boat Basin is today. Curiously its location was between where Image and Image are today. If precedent elsewhere on the Grand Union Canal had been followed the latter should have been numbered Bridge Number 80.
