Moathouse Lane Bridge
This bridge carries a footpath and cycleway over the Wyrley and Essington Canal. The canal by following the contours has no locks on this section but takes a very meandering route hence its nickname 'Curly Wyrley'.
This bridge has been partially rebuilt and extended as can be seen from the change in brick colour.
