Three superb iron bridges at Windmill End Junction

10th April 2011


After the Bumblehole Branch it was back to Windmill End Junction for the right turn onto the Dudley No. 2 Canal to head to Hawne Basin. The trio of iron black-and-white towpath bridges were looking very attractive.


Each bridge is labelled "Toll End Works".



This one, in at least three distinct places, shows the decades of wear from gritty tow ropes.

They are rather lovely, aren't they? Surprisingly ornate for the job so to speak, but very attractive as you say. Lovely photos. You had beautiful weather then didn't you? I see the blossom in the last photo, so it's still April or early May, I'm guessing. I only wish the summee had fulfilled the promise of spring.

10th April (as indicated at the top of the post). I think we had our summer in spring.
