Birmingham Canal Old Main Line - view from St Vincent Street
If I turn round I get a vista of modern multi-storey apartment blocks alongside the canal but I much prefer this rather jaded industrial view with a truncated chimney in the distance. I really need to get to Birmingham more before it is all redeveloped.

Zoned for leisure - Ladywood, Birmingham
The Industrial Revolution and the need to move goods more easily gave rise to the canal system. One horse-towed narrowboat could carry a load far greater than say 20 - 30 packhorses. Canals lay dormant for a number of years but the founding of the IWA (Inland Waterways Association) from a meeting between Robert Aickman and Tom Rolt at Tardebigge in August 1945 helped towards a revival of interest in these neglected routes for leisure. In Birmingham and other areas of Britain there are now facilities for walking, cycling and for cruising along these waterways, these traffic-free routes for the enjoyment of all, as in this view from the St Vincent Street Bridge, Birmingham. Time photo taken 12.28 pm BST (British Summer Time).
