Introduction
The Grand Union Canal joins London to Birmingham. For an overall map of its route see British Waterways map on their website Link . The section described in this article was part of the Grand Junction Canal, started in 1793. I have taken most of the photos on cycle rides along the towpath; I had to walk for the final section from Brentford High Street to the Thames. On these outings I noticed that some bridge numbers were missing from the original sequence, there is no bridge 197. New bridges have needed letters added to the numbers: there are bridges 200a, 200c and 200d.Some bridge numbers are taken from Canalplan AC Gazetteer which has map references.
Books I have used: Wilde's Cycling and Walking Guide - Grand Union, Oxford, and Kennet & Avon Canals, by Robert Davies, Gildersleve Publishing Ltd, ISBN 0 9523577 6 3;
The Grand Union Canal Walk, Anthony Burton and Neil Curtis, Aurum Press, ISBN 1 85410 244 3.
