Canal swing bridge This manually operated swing bridge (numbered 125) is one of the very few left on the Grand Union Canal that is still working and left in position across the canal.

It was originally installed to give a farmer access to his fields.  However, its sole purpose now seems to be maintaining the public footpath route between Pitstone and Seabrook across the canal.
