Enjoyed thank you 😊
Nice video, I always wondered what those hatches were for on the Bridges, there are some near Dudley Port on the old Mainline Canal. Great video, nice to watch as I only walked this earlier this year. All the best, Webby 👍🏻
Great vid Drew. Order up some warm weather next time please 😂
Great video, Drew some fantastic buildings 👏
Have walked on the canal from Birmingham to Worcester 32 miles in 11 hours 👍
That Adrian chap knows his onions. He needs a youtube channel!!
Hi Drew, like you, I love to see the old industry and wonder what it was like back then. I've walked the W&B canal from Birmingham to Wast hill tunnel, and the Stratford canal from Kings Norton Junction to Brandwood tunnel. I think it's got to be by bike the rest of the way, and in better weather! The last time I was there, the old toll house was half burned down, and it was all scaffolded up and covered up. Nice to see it all done up again, let's hop the A holes leave it alone!
Enjoyed this along with all the others. regards the Bournville part, during the war a bomb landed right on one of the bridges carrying the canal over one of the roads near to the Cadbury factory. The canal water poures through the hole & flooded the road beneath, sadly a lot of familys were sheltering in the cellars of the houses & unfortunately drowned. I dont know how many lives were lost but it was quite a lot. I think theres a monument to them in one of the local churches.
