Marsh Lane Bridge (2), Wolverhampton
Marsh Lane Bridge is at the southern end of a narrow part of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. The bridge is also deceptively low on the non-towpath side of the bridge hole. Boat tillermen should always steer near to the towpath when negotiating the bridge. This one, on quite a low boat, ducks safely, but it is from the other direction that mistakes are more often made! :-)
The narrows are cut into the sandstone rock, and for half a mile or so narrowboats cannot pass each other. There are two wider spots in the narrows where one (maybe two) boat(s) can pass another coming the other way. The latest Nicholson Guide mentions that locally the stretch is called "Pendeford Rockin'", after a local farm.

Boat tillermen should always steer near to the towpath when negotiating the bridge. This one, on quite a low boat, has negotiated safely, but it is from the other direction that mistakes are more often made on the entry bend, especially with the many boats which stand higher out of the water! :-)

Marsh Lane Bridge at Fordhouses, Wolverhampton
On the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal travelling south, this bridge marks the end of the gloomy tree enshrouded "narrows", much of which do not allow boats to pass each other. The bridge carries a public footpath between Marsh Lane (vehicular) and Pendeford Lane (footpath).
