The black bridge carries electricity cables from the large substation out of sight on the left. The bridge in the background is Rocky Lane. The substation includes a part demolished building with an exposed white glazed internal wall with tall arched windows. I believe this is what is left of Aston Manor Power Station that was opened in 1903 and extended in 1906 and 1908.
