A picturesque bridge and disused canal, but new housing not far away to the north. A footpath runs from the end of the houses' access road to the bridge and beyond. Damaged but still secure in the brickwork.

Behind a wooden post. Some damage to the top of the FB; it looks like someone has tried to remove this one.
