The Anson Branch, opened in 1830, ran from near the James Bridge Aqueduct on the Walsall Canal north east for about two miles to serve mines in the Bentley area. The line of the canal was severed and culverted under the M6 motorway junction in the late 1960s. The section west of Bentley Mill Lane is still in water. North west of the motorway it is overgrown.
