Kilby Bridge is a landmark hamlet on the A5199 Welford Road south of the city of Leicester in England.
There are three bridges that take the Welford Road:
- Over the River Sence
- Over the Grand Union Canal
- Under the Midland Main Line railway.
The commercial activities of the area include a canalside public house the Navigation Inn, and a car dealership.
Kilby Bridge forms part of the borough of Oadby and Wigston whose southernmost boundary in that area is the River Sence.
Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
