Dist:0.4km<br/>This view of the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal, which was completed in 1815, was taken from the A4157 road bridge. Bear Brook can be seen on the right hand side of the photograph running parallel with the canal. The bridge in the distance is an agricultural bridge (No 16) Beyond it is the Broughton Lane bridge, No 15. Both bridges are marked on the map and are of the standard "Aylesbury Arm" design. I am indebted to Chris Reynolds for the information about the bridges.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Broughton Crossing got its name from the fact that the London & North Western Railway's Cheddington to Aylesbury branch line crossed over the road here, although there was never a station. Despite that the small community of a public house and about a dozen terraced houses grew up alongside the crossing. The railway was built as long ago as 1839, but was an early pre-Beeching casualty of closure, passenger services having been terminated in 1953 and goods in 1964. The railway ran dead straight from just outside Aylesbury to just outside Cheddington, and it ran here between the silver car and the wheelie bin on the right. The 1926 large scale Ordnance Survey map shows the northern railway boundary fence just clipping the pub outbuilding behind the black sign, while the southern boundary was the hedge on the right. The public house is now called the Dog House but all the large scale Ordnance Survey maps from 1879 through to 1952 all show it as The Prince of Wales. According to the blackboard the pub also offers en suite accommodation and is the 2008 Good Food Guide. Call 01296 485228 for details...!
