This narrow bridge is just wide enough for a man and a horse to cross the canal. The circular brick structure at the other side of the canal allows the boat horse to descend to the tow path without detaching the tow rope. Tower Wharf is to the right. The black plaque attached to the brick wall on the other side of the canal commemorates LTC Rolt and his contribution to the canals - see Image
