Looking north-east through the arch of Bridge No 67. Off to the left is a pleasant area of park land. Off to the right is housing by Tamworth Road. Bridge No 67 was an accommodation bridge linking Tamworth Road with fields to the left. As I write (2023), the narrow strip of land between the canal and Tamworth Road has appeared disused, but new images show that a house has been built, completely blocking off any future reopening of the path to the canal. Bridges 65 to 70 in Amington are all Grade II listed.
