Looking west, the incinerator chimney of Birmingham City Hospital is on the left. The Soho Loop is a remnant of the original contour hugging Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line from Wolverhampton, engineered by Brindley, 1768-1772. It was superseded by Thomas Telford's new main line, mainly between 1824 and 1827. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho_Loop
