ANGLESEY/OGLEY JUNCTION CANAL BRIDGE 1829 N52o 39' 6.2" W1o 54' 58.3"
This is a classic "Horseley Iron Works 1829" bridge with the extra detailing in very crisp casting as in the other bridges they provided to Thomas Telford's design on the Wyrley & Essington Canal and throughout the Birmingham Canal Navigation. The clover leaf cut-outs below the parapet railing and the raised molding detail around the X openings in the parapet are very satisfying. Their later bridges are simpler and less lovingly detailed although in appearance almost the same.
This bridge can be found by leaving Brownhills at the roundabout with the huge miner's statue on the B4155 Litchfield Road which crosses the canal at a brick road bridge. If you pass the large garden center, you have gone too far. Access to the canal is beside the brick bridge.
