Norbury Junction Bridge, 1976 (Grid Ref SJ 793228)
Fortunately the
sanitary station has now been moved from this position where it spoils the classic lines
of the bridge, which is of double width to allow a breasted pair of narrowboats to pass through.
The boat in the foreground was our second Linton.
Norbury Junction, 1978. The cottages to the right of the bridge were built by the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Company.
