A shallow pool at the rear of houses on Morgan Way, Ketley. There is a possibility (it's speculation on my part) that this may be the lower receiving pool for tub-boats at the bottom of the long-vanished Ketley Incline, whose location was just uphill of this point. It was used to bring tub-boats laden with coal and ore from the upper part of the Ketley Canal to a lower level, from where they moved to feed a foundry in Ketley Dingle. If this is so, then one likely contender for the route of the incline is the wooded bank shown in Image On the other hand, it could just be a random pond.
