Stone, Brownsover Arm, Oxford Canal
Possibly a milestone on the Western bank of the early route of the canal just North of bridge 56. This canal section leads to Cosford and was bypassed in the 1820s, but kept as a feeder from the river Swift. More information is on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Canal

Brownsover Hall Hotel - Bridge over Brownsover Arm
This old red-brick bridge crosses the Brownsover Arm of the Oxford Canal within the grounds of Image]
The towpath is on the far side of the bridge and cannot be accessed from the grounds due to a padlocked gate at the far end of the bridge. I think that this locked gate is more to prevent people entering the hotel's grounds rather than to prevent guests from accessing the towpath however.

Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) on Brownsover Arm
The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is one of the world's heaviest flying birds with a weight for males of up to 20kg (44lbs)
The example seen here is probably more like 11kg (23lbs) - it is probably a male as it has a notable 'knob' at the top of its beak (females have these too but they're usually less prominent).
This one was floating about on the disused Brownsover Arm of the Oxford Canal.
Cf (probable) female with cygnets Image]
