The bridge from which Image was taken. It's one of the few remaining visible signs of the former Donnington Wood Canal, which was built in the 1760s to carry coal from mines at Donnington Wood to a road-side wharf near here at Pave Lane. Most of the main canal has succumbed to agricultural changes or subsequent landscaping and industrial developments, but a number of other branches of the canal are more evident, particularly around Lilleshall Image A good description of the canal's construction, usage and history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnington_Wood_Canal
