Bridge No 84 near Edgbaston, Birmingham

This is Somerset Road Bridge across the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
The canal was built in the mid 1790s. The adjacent railway was opened in 1876, requiring a higher headroom, so this canal bridge's top will have been raised about eighty years after it was built.
