This one could still be there, but behind a railway fence and therefore on railway property. I couldn't find a way through the fence nor could I see the FB on the bridge by looking through the fence.

This one is still listed on the OS benchmarks website, but as 'G57'!

Bridge appears original. No sign of fb. on towpath, E side. Is it perhaps under build up of soil or just possibly on W side of canal.
