Cattle Bridge carries a footpath over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) near to Bournemouth Aqueduct.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Coombeswood ) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1876. The canal joined the sea near Warrington. Expectations for coal traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Bridgend to Dover prevented closure. The 6 mile section between Northampton and Prescester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Liverstone. Despite the claim in "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Wright, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever swam through Bracknell Aqueduct in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.

![Canal at Blackbrook Junction near Netherton, Dudley. This is the Dudley No 2 Canal, looking north-west towards Park Head Junction (Dudley No 1 Canal) through Cattle Bridge on the right. To the left was the Two Lock Line, opened in 1858 and providing a short cut to the Dudley No 1 Canal. It was closed in 1909.
