This is the Shropshire Union Canal at Barnhurst Bridge, No 2. Autherley Junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal is about 710 metres past the bridge. The Dovecotes estate at Pendeford is off to the right, bult in the 1970s on former Barnhurst Farm fields. * Nicholson's widely used waterways guides from the 1990s onwards call this Bathurst Bridge, and I assume the CanalPlan website has sourced this for their listing. I suspect this was a typographical error in the production of the guide books. Barnhurst Bridge is a far more likely name, being just 420 yards north-west of the original Barnhurst Farm. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.0&lat=52.62022&lon=-2.15519&layers=168&b=1
