Summary
[edit]DescriptionWorcester and Birmingham Canal near Selly Oak, Birmingham - geograph.org.uk - 1729379.jpg |
English: Worcester and Birmingham Canal near Selly Oak, Birmingham Much effort has been made in recent years to make the towpaths of the canals more user friendly to boaters and the public alike. Here, south of Bridge No 80 (Bristol Road) good moorings including bollards have been made available a short walk from Sainsbury's supermarket and other shops.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was fully open by 1815. The thirty mile (48 kilometre) long route with 58 locks gives access to the River Severn at Diglis Basin in Worcester. The canal took twenty-three years to build, and eventually took coal and industrial products south and brought grain, farm produce and building materials into Birmingham. According to William Dargue, pairs of donkeys were used to tow the narrow boats on this canal - the reason is unknown. Other companies normally used single horses. http://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-k/kings-norton/ |
