Looking down on the southern portal of Netherton Tunnel - Cobb's Engine House to the right

The bridge from which the photograph was taken is one of several roving bridges at WINDMILL END where the Dudley Canal No. 2 has its identity crisis - it once travelled south from here through the Lapal Tunnel to SellyOak. Now the main course is northwards through the 3,027 yd Netherton Tunnel to eventually join the BCN Main Line and the old course is relegated to a branch ending at Hawne Basin.
