Grand Union Canal near Tyseley, Birmingham
Just coming into view is the Birmingham Energy Recycling Facility, operated by Veolia Environmental Services. Veolia's Energy Recovery Facility (ERF), converts 350,000 tonnes of Birmingham’s rubbish into electricity each year.
The former Warwick and Birmingham Canal was opened for business in 1800, (though ceremoniously declared open the previous year). It was bought by the Regent's Canal Company in 1929, then absorbed into the Grand Union Canal Company (GUCC) in 1932.

Grand Union Canal near Tyseley, Birmingham
Seen from beneath the arch of Kings Road Bridge. The considerable width of water ahead is explained by the presence of a winding hole, where boats up to seventy feet in length can be turned round.

Kings Road Bridge near Tyseley, Birmingham
Bridge No 88 across the Grand Union Canal.
It will be noticed that most canals retain the old 18th and early 19th century bridges, with a navigable width of about nine to ten feet. This canal, however, (formerly the Warwick and Birmingham), was considerably modernised in the 1930s so that wider and heavier boats could use it. This included fourteen foot wide locks for pairs of narrowboats and new wider bridges. In and around Birmingham this included the provision of fireman's hatches in the parapets (seen here painted red) to allow easier access for their hoses in an emergency.
The money ran out by the time this canal reached the top of Camp Hill Locks in Birmingham, so the project was never completed.
