The Ridgacre Branch left the Wednesbury Old Canal at Swan Lane Junction and ran for approximately a mile north-eastwards. Since the building of the Black Country Spine Road the branch has been inaccessible to boats: the bridge from which this photograph is taken is one of several that are closer to culverts in their size. The branch remains in water as a wildlife habitat and walkers' route.
