Hotly debated canal photo from old Brownhills postcard, thought to be late 50s-early60s. Image from an eBay sale.
The canal on the south side of the Black Cock Bridge as captured by The Stymaster yesterday evening.
A quick post here on the ongoing debate about the location of the canal photo from a composite post, spotted by local historian Clive Roberts and featured here a few days ago.
Reader and fellow blogger The Stymaster nipped over to the Black Cock bridge for me last night and took the following image which whilst not conclusive, does at least show that the height of the roofline is right.
Worth noting that chimneys have certainly been removed from both sides of the cottage, and the northern one has no chimneys at all now.
The line of the canal seems right to me, too.
What do you folks think? Comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com – cheers for all the contributions so far.
