Plaque at Debdale Bridge (No. 22), Staffs & Worcs Canal, near Cookley The small bridge at Debdale Lock is, not surprisingly, called Debdale Bridge, and numbered 22. Usually these plaques are affixed to the bridge, but this one is attached to the lock wall under the bridge. The style of the plaque would seem to indicate it is probably a replacement, rather than an original.
