Looking south-east towards Wheaton Aston, Brewood and Wolverhampton. Dirty Lane Bridge is No 20 across the Shropshire Union Canal and was an accommodation bridge (Grade II listed). At least one map calls it Mills's Bridge. When housing was built off to the left. developers decided Dirty Lane needed to be renamed! (Long Street on some maps - surely not). Off to the right, the unsurfaced Downford Lane is only used as a farm track, and goes nowhere. I don't know if it still is a public right of way.
