View from the Bearley North Junction Signal Box looking towards Birmingham with the Alcester branch curving away to the left in the summer of 1947. The Edstone Aqueduct dominates the background and although only 33' high at its highest point, at 489 ft long, it is the longest cast-iron canal aqueduct in England. In the foreground is the Bearley to Aston Cantlow road underbridge. The road follows the branch for a short distance.
