説明 | The Titford Canal seen near Langley Green Station and in Oldbury, Sandwell, West Midlands.The locks leads to under the M5 motorway and the Oldbury Locks Junction with the Birmingham Canal Navigations Old Mainline Canal (between Wolverhampton and Birmingham).The Titford Canal is a narrow (7 foot) canal, a short branch of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) in Oldbury, West Midlands, England.Authorised under the Birmingham Canal Act 1768 which created the original Birmingham Canal, it was constructed in 1836-7 and opened on 4 November 1837. It now runs from Titford Pool, a reservoir made in 1773-4 which now lies under, and to both sides of, an elevated section of the M5 motorway near the motorway's junction 2, to join the BCN Old Main Line at Oldbury Junction, also under the M5.Beyond Titford Pool was a continuation, abandoned in 1954, as the Portway Branch, which served coal mines in the Titford Valley. Also from Titford Pool was the Causeway Green Branch; opened in 1858 and abandoned, in parts, in 1954 and September 1960.I got on the canal at the Tat Bank Bridge then walked towards the M5, then at Oldbury Junction, headed towards Oldbury and got off at the Stone Street Bridge.Oldbury Lockstowards the M5 and lock no 6.
