Industrial buildings by the Soho Loop in Birmingham
Looking north-east from near Rotton Park Junction. Many factories off to the left have now (by 2021) been demolished, and very extensive city regeneration including housing is under way.
The Soho Loop is a remnant of the original meandering Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line to Wolverhampton, engineered by Brindley, 1768-1772. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho_Loop

Soho Loop, Birmingham Canal Navigations
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.
