The road gives access to a house, but in the field on the right side of the hedge running parallel to it is the route once followed by the Shrewsbury Canal. Evidence of the canal in the field has been eradicated but at the top of the field in the shadow of trees a bridge can be detected which carries a minor public road over the old canal. North of that bridge the canal's route is clear but it's badly overgrown and choked with vegetation. The road as it crosses that bridge can be seen here - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7256002 , and the still existing canal route just to the north-east, here - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7054242 .
