Brace Factory Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) near to Gloucester Tunnel.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Bournemouth. Expectations for stone traffic to Barton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1955 when St Helens Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
