View from Northfield Road. I have no idea why this street name was allocated but as it is in close proximity to the canals I would imagine that Dudley MBC meant it to have a reference to the Narrowboat and not the Longboat. Wikipedia says, "It is also incorrect (or at least incongruous) to refer to a narrowboat as a longboat, although this name was sometimes used in the Midlands in working-boat days".
