Grand Union Canal: Bridge Number 163
This structure is only a footbridge, at the edge of The Grove estate, that allows the towpath to cross from this, the east side, to the far, the west side of the canal. As with many bridges on the Grand Union Canal it has been painted white, which may be fine when the paintwork was new, but looks neglected as soon as the paint starts to peel off. Immediately beyond the bridge the canal makes a sharp right-angled turn to the left. The Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping is woefully inaccurate here, presumably for cartographic presentation reasons, plotting the bridge some 70 metres away from its much more accurate position shown on the 1:10,000 scale.

Roving bridge, Grand Union Canal
Bridge 163 enables a horse to cross where the towpath changes sides. It is very narrow, with just room enough for the horse.

Hidden in the Gade
Just below Lady Capel's lock 74, the River Gade re-enters the canal. An adjacent landowner has taken advantage of the widening at this point to put a narrowboat in.
