    Boundary Edition 206 Post Autumn 2014 I was joined by Ivor Chambers & Brian Ward to meet four representatives from CRT to discuss the reed infestation on the Wednesbury Old Canal. There was Ian Lane, Acting Area Manager, Ian Derby, Maintenance Manager, Paul Wilkinson Senior Ecologist and Alex May, Environmental Scientist. Because of the known toxins in the water the cost of dredging out the reeds would be financially prohibitive at pre- sent but various considerations are being made.

  • 09 September 2017 • Talk to the Charity That's
    09 September 2017 • Talk to the charity that’s work keeps the Walsall Canal thriving • Rare opportunity to venture to the bottom of a drained canal lock at special visitor open day • A day of fun with activities on offer for all the family Vital repair work is underway by the charity the Canal & River Trust, as part of a £10,000 project to keep the Walsall Canal in good condition for the local community. As part of the work, the Trust is holding a special event to give visitors the chance to explore Lock 5 on this flight of locks, which runs through the heart of Walsall in the West Midlands. The Trust’s team of experts, including engineers, apprentices and ecologists, will be on hand to explain about the history of the canal in Walsall, the work of the charity and the impressive works carried out to the lock. Additionally, visitors to the event will be able to try their hand at canoeing and fishing at taster sessions running throughout the day. A display of all the weird and wonderful things found in the canal will also be on show at the event, and visitors will be able to sample the tasty delights made by local food traders. Keith Bradfield, the Canal & River Trust’s supervisor on the Walsall Canal says: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to give people a rare behind-the-scenes visit to their local canal as they have never seen it before, and probably never will again. The team will all be there on Saturday 23rd September to answer any questions and explain about the works we’ve done, which would have been almost exactly how it was done 200 years ago.” The bottom gates at lock 5 are nearing the end of their life due to wear and tear and rot.

  • Walsall Cycling Strategy April 2003
    Walsall Cycling Strategy Walsall Cycling Strategy April 2003 Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council Road Safety and Sustainable Travel Civic Centre Darwall Street Walsall WS1 1DG Page 1 Walsall Cycling Strategy 1. Foreword The vast majority of journeys are short. More than 60% of all car trips are less than 5 miles. Yet the attention of society is too frequently focused on long, motorised trips while neglecting the numerous shorter trips made in urban areas. The prevalence and importance of short trips, many of which could easily be made by bicycle, is often forgotten in our car orientated society. The benefits that cycling can bring to our everyday lives have long been recognised by many of our European partners and, indeed, by many towns and cities within the UK itself. From the points of view of health, the environment and air quality, cycling has an enormous part to play in improving the quality of life of the population of Walsall. It is now widely recognised that our transport system is in need of a major overhaul. Gridlock is becoming a common occurrence – causing delays to private and public transport alike. The vast majority of journeys are less than five miles – indeed, 50% of all journeys are less than 2 miles. It is here that the bicycle can have an enormous impact on easing traffic congestion. It pleases me enormously that the highly prestigious National Cycle Route (a continuous route from Dover to Inverness, goes not only through the Borough but through Walsall town centre itself – a great opportunity to promote tourism within the town and encourage local residents to use the ever improving cycle facilities within the Borough.

  • Institution of Civil Engineers Panel for Historical Engineering Works
    INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS PANEL FOR HISTORICAL ENGINEERING WORKS INLAND WATERWAYS SUB-PANEL LIST OF INLAND WATERWAYS This list, which contains the names of known canals and river navigations in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, has been prepared from a large number of secondary sources. In the case of river navigations, the word ‘River’ follows the name. Where a waterway has been registered by the Panel for Historical Engineering Works as an Historical Engineering Work (HEW), the HEW number is given after the name of the waterway. Following the name of the waterway there is, where applicable, a list of structures registered as HEWs which are situated on the waterway. For nearly all the inland waterways named in the list information has been recorded in the PHEW Inland Waterways Database. For further information about individual waterways contact in the first instance Claire Delgal.

  • South Central, Birchills & Reedswood an RCHS West Midlands Group
    History of Canals & Railway around Walsall: South Central, Birchills & Reedswood An RCHS West Midlands Group Walk Saturday 3rd September 2016 Today’s walk focuses on the history Walsall Railway Station, railway lines and infrastructure to the south of the station, the northern end of the Walsall Canal (including Town Wharf & Walsall locks), the Birchills Branch of the Wyrley & Essington Canal, remains of the Midland Railway around the sites of the two power stations built in Birchills, the history of power generation in the town, and ending up considering the history of the Anson Branch Canal, visiting its terminus in Reedswood. The map above shows the location of the Borough of Walsall relative to the City of Birmingham and the Black Country. Whether or not the borough lies within the latter is of little real importance but does lead to debate among those who are interested in the topic. Basing a decision on the boundary of the South Staffordshire coalfield and the location of limestone works and furnaces, the conclusion is that the western end of Walsall is within the Black Country. Others define Black Country based on cultural rather than geological/economic criteria. It is very difficult to define boundaries on a map with this approach. Certainly though, most people would exclude any consideration of Birmingham whatever definition is used. The status of Wolverhampton is similar to that of Walsall. Roger Brice, 13th August 2016 TheseThe Notes map areabove intended shows for the the location personal of use the of borough members of of Walsall the RCHS relative attending to Birmingham the walk or whoand theare otherwiseBlack Country interested.
