Beyond this bridge, the canal passes under a factory for about two hundred metres. It is strange that this bridge position appears to post date that of New Troutpool Bridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3134709 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3134633 about two hundred metres to the west. Note 2020: This bridge did not exist when aerial photographs in the mid-1930s were taken. Possibly it was built at the same time the factory ahead was extended across the canal. I suggest this is actually Troutpool New Bridge, and the one two hundred metres to the west (which shows on Victorian maps by a gravel pit - subsequently trout pool?) is Troutpool Bridge.
