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:
“Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
