The towpath runs past the south end of the bridge, so I'd hope that the FB is/was on the south end of the bridge. However, even after shifting some moss from the bridge, I couldn't see it there. I hope it's not on the north end since there is a large pile of rubbish beside the north end of the bridge spilling into the disused canal.
