Not so long ago the view from urban canals tended to be of the backside of factories and other industrial sites. Nowadays, apartment blocks like these have become more common, developers seeing the waterside location as a major attraction. Not that the residents here will see much boating activity on this waterway which runs to a dead end at Halesowen; although there are extensive moorings at Hawne Basin this is really a canal for the dedicated enthusiast rather than the leisure boater.
