The canal was a stretch of the 'Old Wednesbury Canal', part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations. The north side of a bridge is in view; it carries, or its successor carries, the main street through the Great Bridge district of Tipton. The camera location is seen to be on a mass of brick rubble; it was the location of another old bridge which had carried a track of the Great Western Railway. That route, as can be seen from OS maps, is now occupied by a new road.
