Dist:0.2km<br/>The footbridge carries Kings Meadow Lane over the A45 bypass, giving access to the riverside paths, old gravel pits and the footpath to Irthlingborough. The River Nene (pronounced 'Nen' hereabouts) is in the foreground.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The footpath used to run along the edge of a field, but a new housing estate has sprung up, and the County Council Rights of Way department had the path tarmaced.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This section of the road still resembles a cart track. There used to be a farm to the right and fields to the left. Both have been replaced by housing. The highway authority has so far resisted suggestions that the road be brought up to urban standard with street-lights and tarmac.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This post war Bailey Bridge replaced a railway bridge of the Northampton to Peterborough Railway. I expect it was put there by a Gravel Pit company. The main structure is a triple/double truss. The main water you see is the River Nene, the Navigation comes in from the left before the bridge.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>The Irthlingborough Viaduct carries the A6 over the River Nene. It was built in 1936 because the foundations of the old 13th century bridge (seen in the background) were too unstable for motor traffic.
