Bayleys Lane Bridge
Bayleys Lane Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lower Ocker Hill Branch).
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lower Ocker Hill Branch) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from George Wood who owned land in the area. Expectations for stone traffic to Windsor were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lower Ocker Hill Branch) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by William Hunter.

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