  • BCN Moorings Leaflet
    FACILITIES GENERAL INFORMATION WATER POINTS he Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) is a 100 mile network of narrow Sherborne Wharf (Birmingham) [0121 456 6163] T canals situated at the very heart of the Midlands waterway system. There is, Farmers Bridge Top Lock (Birmingham & Fazeley) Holliday Wharf (just south of Gas Street Basin) arguably, no other inland waterways complex in the world which provides such Tividale Aqueduct (Netherton Tunnel Branch) vivid, sometimes breathtaking, contrasts. It would be difficult to imagine a canal Tividale Aqueduct (Old Main Line) landscape containing more features of interest to such a wide variety of users. Wolverhampton Top Lock Wolverhampton Lock No.15 BW Sneyd Yard (Wyrley & Essington) Unfortunately, the BCN harbours a serious burden – its image. To the uninitiated the Anglesey Bridge Marina (Anglesey Branch) [01543 454994] Longwood Junction (by Boat Club) BCN is still perceived as grimy and unpleasant, but this is simply not true. Perry Barr Top Lock Admittedly, some parts do pass through industrialised areas – but remember – that is Walsall Top Lock the reason they were built in the first place! There are many others which remain Parkhead Junction (next to pump house) Aldridge Marina (Daw End Branch) [01922 53397] amazingly rural and completely unspoilt. Nowhere is this more apparent than the Hawne Basin (Dudley No.2) delightful areas of the Northern BCN, providing many miles of tranquil, trouble-free Malthouse Stables, Tipton (Old Main Line) cruising. Cuckoo Wharf (Aston Locks) Canal Transport Services (Cannock Extension) [01543 374370] Grove Colliery Basin (Cannock Extension) Fortunately British Waterways, in conjunction with local canal societies and Black Country Museum Coronation Gardens, Tipton (Old Main Line) councils, has done much in recent years to enhance the waterside, to improve NEW – Windmill End (Dudley No.2) [next to new visitor centre].

  • Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An
    Walsall Walkabout #2 (North East) Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An RCHS West Midlands Group Walk Saturday 9th September 2017 Overview Walsall Walkabout #2, - a (perhaps surprisingly) mostly rural walk - starts at Bell Bridge (Walstead Road) on the Rushall Canal: Bus #51 or X51 from Walsall Bus Station stand A/B to Walstead Road Bell Inn. The Wyrley & Essington Canal was incorporated in 1792 to connect Wolverhampton with Wyrley Bank and adjacent collieries. In fact, before the canal was completed the line up to Wyrley became a branch with the main line continuing to Birchills (north Walsall). Subsequently, the main line was extended from a junction less than half a mile north of Birchills basin to join the Coventry Canal at Huddlesford Junction which is to the east of Lichfield. There were a number of branches notably in the area around Wyrley and to the south of Cannock. The main line of the canal was opened in stages (from west to east) between 1794 and 1797. Despite the proximity of the Wyrley & Essington Canal and the BCN, and pressure from local businessmen, the two canals had no connections (apart from Horseleyfields Junction at the Wolverhampton end) until the two canal companies merged in 1840. Three such canals were completed between 1841 and 1847. The first (the Walsall Locks Branch) made the half-mile connection between the W&E at Birchills Wharf and the Walsall Canal close to its terminus at Walsall Wharf - this canal was included in our Walsall Walkabout #1 in 2016. The Rushall Canal, completed in 1847, was #3 in the sequence.

  • The Assessment Concludes That Multi-Typology Open Spaces Should Be Encouraged So Biodiversity Is an Integral Part of Recreational Open Space
    The assessment concludes that multi-typology open spaces should be encouraged so biodiversity is an integral part of recreational open space. Description of provision in Walsall Metropolitan Borough 7.40. Walsall Metropolitan Borough falls in the southeast of the study area. The less densely urban eastern half of the borough is included within the study boundary. Figure 7.1e shows distribution of current open space provision by typology as assessed in the Walsall Green Space Strategy 2006-2011 (Draft for consultation July 06). The strategy did not set out any standards for analysis or for future provision, however the Urban Open Space SPD, April 2006 provides further summary of the current quantity of provision and targets for future provision. This information is summarised in Table 7.5 below.

  • A Moody Part of Birmingham
    A Moody Part of Birmingham Chris’s original suggestion for a paddle had been a loop around Loughborough, or something around Nottingham way, but then he rang up and asked if I wouldn’t mind doing something a bit closer to home. “The wheel came of my car the other day,” he explained. “On the M40. I’ve had a new one put on now, but I’d rather not journey too far just in case.” He had somewhere in mind. I hadn’t heard of it but it sounded idyllic: the River Tame and the Tame Valley canal. My visions of a bucolic bumble were dispelled when he explained where it was: “You know that little triangle of motorway in the West Midlands, where the M5 meets the M6…” Chris stuck to minor roads, so it took a fair while to get there. When I say “there”, I mean the general area. Finding the start and finish points took a bit longer. We’d pulled into a cul-de-sac in Handsworth to look at the A to Z, when a car pulled up alongside. “You must be lost,” said the driver.” You wouldn’t stop here for any other reason: this is a moody part of Birmingham.” He showed us where to go and we found the finish point without too much more trouble and did a recce. The river looked as if it had a decent amount of water in it. After a few wrong turns, we drove to the start point, on the Tame Valley Canal and found that we had a problem.
