The former Bentley Canal, Willenhall
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 24 Jun 2011
Part of the route of the former Bentley Canal, which connected the Essington & Wyrley cut (the 'Curly Wyrley') with the Walsall Canal. It started (or ended) at Image with the other end being at Image, and closed in 1961 after more than 100 years of operation. All 10 locks on the route, and the canal itself, have been filled in, and little remains to tell of its existence apart from the occasional trace such as this.
