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.

Grand Union Canal: Reach between Downhead Park and Willen Park
For the most part the canal is shielded from the houses in the new residential suburbs of Milton Keynes (and vice versa).
The old Victorian large scale map of this reach shows that there used to be a milestone on the towpath here, near to where the boat is moored, inscribed "To the Thames 60".
Image is visible in the distance.
