For all of you who could not, or even did not want to, you missed a most enjoyable RNR Rally. The venue was interesting and coped with us all; the entertainment fabulous; the beer, cider and other drinks flowed well and the camaraderie excellent. Congratulations to all involved in the organisation and the smooth running of the whole event. Pauline and I took off on the BCN Tour ably arranged by our President Ian. The visit to the CRT Bradley Works, where the replacement lock gates are manufactured, was a real treat. The stores were immaculate; the whole place tidy and there is not a computer in the place!

  • 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].

Our thanks go to them. The Editor’s Meanderings Mick Fitzgibbons Interchange Editor As spring heads towards summer the change marks the start of the boating season. Its been an unusually dry spring and a time when one or two of us will be thinking of carrying out some essential maintenance. But there is always the attraction of the first boating trip out onto the canal and the ever pleasant thought “I can catch-up on that little job later.“ However, after all the spit and polish that has been applied to the basin in preparation for the open weekend, it might well have blunted the enthusiasm for some. This edition of Interchange has a slightly different format than previously. More people involved in the organisation of the trust and social activities are providing regular updates. Some updates will appear in each edition while others will appear from time to time. Open Weekend 2017 Gill Reynolds Honorary Secretary What a huge success … not just in terms of money raised but in the number of members involved in volunteering to help both in the planning stage and over the 2 days of the event.

  • 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.
