Worcester Birmingham Canal
A remote aqueduct which carries the Worcester Birmingham Canal over a muddy footpath just south of Alvechurch.
The scale of the archway would suggest that it carried something more significant than a footpath, but the absence of a stream and the limited headroom for a train makes its original purpose something of a puzzle. GIven its similarity to its near neighbour at Aqueduct Lane, maybe it provided access to a quarry or something.
