Viewed from Wiggins Mill Bridge. What is left of the Gospel Oak Branch (a short section is in water) heads off to the left beyond the anglers; the towpath on that side leads only to the branch. The towpath of the main Walsall Canal continues from here on the right: it is elevated for a short distance leading to a bridge over what appears to be a derelict basin. The blue bridge ahead carries the Midland Metro tram line, built on what was once the Great Western Railway's main line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
