| 説明 | West Midlands walkabout in July 2021. This is the Birmingham to Wolverhampton main line canal, constructed between 1768 and 1772 to the design of James Brindley. Merger with the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal in 1784 created a combined company that ten years later renamed itself as the Birmingham Canal Navigations, eventually having some 160 miles of waterway, 100 miles or so of which remains in use. This large brick structure is the central pier of the bridge that carried the Harborne Railway, a branch to the place of its title, now a suburb of Birmingham. The line opened on 10 August 1874, increasing traffic justifying a service of up to thirty trains a day. After the First World War buses took many of the passengers and such services were withdrawn from the line on 26 November 1934. Freight lingered until the line was abandoned on 4 November 1963. Much of the route has been tarmacced and is well used by walkers, runners and cyclists. |
