This is the north-eastern portal of the approximate 105 yard, or approximate 96 metre, long canal tunnel. The newer railway tunnel to the right originally formed part of the infrastructure of the Midland Railway's Birmingham & West Suburban Branch, and was the site of the former and comparatively short-lived (1876-1925) Church Road station, which was closed due to lack of patronage.
