Gravelly Way Bridge near Four Ashes, Staffordshire

Bridge No 78 on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Just beyond it is Bridge No 78A, more recently built to service the nearby Schenectady (SI Group) works, off to the right.

The canal was opened in 1772, engineered by James Brindley. It joins the River Severn at Stourport to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood Junction in Staffordshire. There are 43 locks (45 if you don't fancy the deep wide locks at Stourport) and the canal is 46 miles in length.
