Soho Loop, Birmingham Canal Navigations
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 22 Oct 2016
The Soho or Winson Green Loop was part of Brindley's original contour canal connecting Birmingham and Wolverhampton. It was later by-passed by the straight line designed by Telford, leaving a quiet backwater now giving access to moorings at Hockley Port. This stretch south of Spring Hill bridge is very industrial in nature.
