Looking south-west through the arch of Lambert's Lane Bridge, No 77. It is a turnover bridge (roving bridge), cunningly designed to allow the horses to cross from one side of the canal to the other without being unhitched from their boats. It carries Lambert's Lane, which is an unsurfaced bridleway off to the right, but has been incorporated into the housing estate off to the left.
