Description: | Workers installing new safety gates at Northywood Bridge on the Wyrley & Essington Canal near Aldridge. The canal appears to have been partly drained for this purpose. The gates were installed to prevent loss of water due to subsidence, by automatically closing if the canal was breached. (Courtesy of the T. W.
