After the blackened spire at Heath Town and the Jolly Collier pub, the canal passes playing
fields and grassed areas, and a modern church with a striking green roof. The old brick bridge
leading up to the hospital has been repaired very obviously and carries a nameplate, as do the
other bridges on this canal.
Beyond it, a substantial lattice bridge, of a pattern we will see again later, carries the
towpath at Wednesfield Junction (which used to have an island with an octagonal tollbooth)
across the Bentley Canal. This was abandoned as a through route to Bentley in 1961, and the
buildings of Willenhall have spread over it in recent years.
