 Your canker and soot combined make me wonder if you are in a humid site. I remember a friend having sooty apples on trees with little air blowing through and it does not look nice. Canker is even more serious, in theory you are supposed to cut right back but Bramleys are pretty hardy and I would leave some fruiting branches on that one.
