Summary edit
| Description |
English: Birmingham and Fazeley Canal near Drayton Bassett, Staffordshire Over the hedge to the right of the towpath is Kingsbury Water Park, which is situated between Kingsbury and Bodymoor Heath. It is a series of 15 lakes, situated in 600 acres of land. It was reclaimed from the old gravel pits. It is now home to a camp site, children's play areas, a sailing club, model boat club and jet ski and power boat racing clubs. (Wikipedia)
The Birmingham and Fazeley Canal's original purpose was to provide a link between Birmingham and the south east of England, by way of the Coventry Canal and the Oxford Canal. John Smeaton was the engineer, and the canal was completed in 1789. The canal now runs from the BCN Main Line at Old Turn Junction, Birmingham to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, just outside Tamworth. The length is 15 miles (24 km), and it includes 38 locks. There is also a short branch to Digbeth, Birmingham. Information from Wiki Birmingham_and_Fazeley_Canal . |
