The main line of the Walsall Canal runs past the camera and beneath the bridge. The branch to the left is the Bradley branch which even in 1979 had been abandoned but still, in 2021 has water for a distance, and the remnants of locks. Close to the camera position, probably just behind it, there's now a road bridge not there at the time the image was made.
