Oxley Viaduct in Wolverhampton

This is the Birmingham Canal Navigations, looking east-south-east towards Wolverhampton city centre and Birmingham. The Grade II listed Oxley Viaduct (1847-1849) carries the railway line to Telford and Shrewsbury. Beyond the viaduct, is Lock No 16 in the Wolverhampton flight of 21. Sustrans National Route 81 (Aberystwyth to Wolverhampton) for cyclists passes along the towpath here, so non-waterways funding is available to help maintain the surface.
