Ancient Railway Signal - Cadbury's Railway system 1970
An ancient form of signal where the red board is rotated through 90 degrees. As seen in the photograph, it is parallel to the track indicating that the line is clear.
Location is approximate only - photo was taken from a canal boat and in 1970 I didn't keep very accurate records!

Narrows on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal
'Narrows' are places where a canal is intentionally built at its minimum width. Sometimes they are the site of a demolished bridge. More often [and I think in this case] they are points where stop planks can be dropped in across the canal, to close it. This would stop all the water draining out of a long pound if there was a breach somewhere.
