Wiggins Mill Bridge - Walsall Canal
Situated just after a canal basin, this bridge allows the horses that towed narrow boats to cross to the towpath on the other side. Here, British Waterways are carrying out minor repairs to the brickwork.

Gospel Oak branch of Walsall Canal, 1979
A truly desolate scene showing the long-abandoned Gospel Oak canal branch from its terminus at Gospel Oak Road. Captain Ahab's website has it that the branch was abandoned in 1954 but still had use as a feeder for the canal system ahead - http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.com/2010/12/gospel-oak-branch-bcn-upper-reaches.html.
The scene is entirely different now; the post-industrial waste ground has been developed for housing and the canal route adapted to become a linear park and footpath. The northern end of the branch still has a stretch of water at its junction with the Walsall Canal, as Richard Vince's image shows - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6392737.
