Purton Road bridge over the Wilts & Berks Canal (North Wilts Branch)
The Purton Road bridge over the Wilts & Berks Canal (North Wilts Branch) was built in 2001 by the developers of the adjacent housing development, under a contract from Swindon Borough Council. The tunnel on the right takes the Canal, while that on the left the combined towpath and cycle track. The division down the centre permits the towpath to be at a lower level than the canal, to give greater headroom to cyclists. It shows the commitment of the Council to possible future restoration, since the canal is not in water south of this point. http://www.wbct.org.uk/information/walks/897-swindon-north-wilts-canal-moredon-and-mouldon-hill http://www.smithswbc.org.uk/ The North Wilts branch formerly connected the main Wilts & Berks Canal with the Thames and Severn Canal, and ran between Swindon and Latton.

Derelict lock, Wilts & Berks Canal (North Wilts Branch), and electricity sub-station, Moredon
To the left is the electricity sub-station. To the right, barely visible beneath the weeds is the brickwork of all that remains of the top one of the flight of three Moredon Locks on the disused North Wilts branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal (the lowest being Mouldon Lock). The North Wilts branch formerly connected the main Wilts & Berks Canal with the Thames and Severn Canal, and ran between Swindon and Latton. The canal bed would have run from where the photographer is standing directly ahead in line with the fence of the power station.
