The Wendover Arm Canal near Halton
The Wendover Arm Canal is part of the Grand Union Canal. It originally linked the Grand Union Canal at Bulbourne near Star Top End in Hertfordshire to the town of Wendover in Buckinghamshire. It has been un-navigable since 1897.

Wendover Arm: Perch Bridge (No 10) from the north
In architectural terms it is clear that this is not an original canal bridge. The original bridge would have been a humpbacked brick-built bridge with quite a steep approach on the south west side. The fancy ironwork Image, and the ornate touches in the brickwork (unnecessary in a purely functional bridge) suggest to me that it was built by Baron Alfred Rothschild – although it is not as elaborate as the other bridge he built over the canal Image

Grand Union Canal (Wendover Arm)
The disused (as can be noted from the pipe crossing!) Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal at the Halton Lane bridge. The canal was constructed and opened in 1793, primarily to provide water to the Tring summit of the main Grand Union Canal. However water leakage through the banks was great and despite numerous efforts at repairs and the use of the Arm for commercial purposes, it was closed in 1904.
