Looking towards Wolverhampton from the Black Country Route (A463) bridge, the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line canal (Wolverhampton Level) was opened in 1769 by the Birmingham Canal Company, engineered by James Brindley, and partially rerouted by Telford in 1837. The towpath has been restored and is now a designated off-road cycle way.
