This is the canal route east of the bridge carrying Oak Lane over the water. Between the two largest trees there's an inlet allowing a water supply for the canal. This branch, (of the Staffs and Worcester Canal), was abandoned in 1955 but for many years a restoration has been ongoing which is a significant undertaking involving some realignment of the original route - https://www.lhcrt.org.uk.
