A map from the website of the Canal and River Trust has the bridge named as Longbridge Bridge; it appears to be little changed in the 41 years since the image was recorded as can be seen in Richard Vince's image from 2020 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6392747. A significant change however has taken place beyond the bridge; the rather new-looking factory unit in this image has gone, cleared no doubt to allow the building of the A463, 'Black Country Route' dual carriageway.
