Drayton Manor Footbridge

Looking towards Fazeley Junction. The boat is obscuring the swing bridge that can be pushed across the canal at towpath level for vehicle access across the canal; this is left open these days; pedestrians can use the spiral staircases inside the turrets and cross the higher level bridge. Those young-at-heart get off the front of their boat, rush over the footbridge and down the other side just-in-time to get on again at the back.
