Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Birmingham and Fazeley Canal at Fazeley, Staffordshire. The junction with the Coventry Canal is beyond the distant Watling Street Bridge.

On the right is Tolson's Mill.

In 1838 a fugitive from striking workers in Lancashire diverted the local stream and created a series of water-powered factories to mass produce calico. The historic Grade II listed five-storey mill was built around 1880. Until recently it was owned and operated by the Tolson family, who used it to produce the traditional tape used to bind legal documents. The Mill is still used for this purpose today. The remainder of the site - formerly owned by William Tolson Holdings - is made up of offices, workshops and stores. Complete refurbishment of the mill and the site is planned. http://www.canaljunction.com/canal/birmingham_fazeley.htm) http://www.ashfieldland.co.uk/projects/fazeley-mill-tamworth.php
