Summary edit
| Description |
English: Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and apartments in Birmingham Looking from Lock No 6 towards Newhall Street.
The Birmingham and Fazeley Canal joins the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, about fifteen miles away. It has thirty-eight locks, including the Farmer's Bridge flight, the Aston flight, the Minworth flight and the Curdworth flight. The Farmer's Bridge flight of thirteen locks drops the water level by 81 feet (about 25 metres). Here the locks are descending by tall modern office blocks and apartments, all part of the city centre's major regeneration begun in the 1980s. Interesting information regarding this development is available on the BCN Society website here http://www.bcn-society.co.uk/BCNS_Photo_Gallery9.php#Photographs%20From%20the%20Recent%20Past . It is noticeable that in the newest Nicholson's Guides to the Waterways, the top nine locks are placed on a reduced OS 1:25000 map very inaccurately. Lock nine is NOT by the railway bridge next to lock 13! |
