Boundary Notice ... but which bridge?


Almost at Hockley Heath on our walk now. Here's a sign which I expect most boaters miss: fixed to the "inside" of a bridge on the Stratford Canal is a cast iron plate marking the boundary between what I assume are, or were, the Severn River Authority and the Trent River Authority.


And how many of those who do spot it realise that the bridge numbers don't agree? According to the notice it's Bridge No. 24. But according to the bridge number plaque it's out by one. Now I have to confess that I can't remember which bridge this is. I remember thinking at the time that I'd remember. But that was more than two weeks ago and I've forgotten.
