Birmingham and Fazeley Canal near Gravelly Hill in Birmingham
This is the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal south-west of Erdington, and looking east towards Fazeley. The industrial building on the left is built across the canal for about 200 metres. Aerial images from 2019 show the building being demolished. Aerial images from the mid-1930s show this was the Birlec Electric Furnace Works alongside the canal. The concrete structures supporting the extension across the canal are characteristic of the 1960s. Can anyone inform us of their actual date, and whether Birlec still owned the whole site? (Please).

Birmingham & Fazeley Canal: New Troutpool Bridge
The bridge carries Jarvis Way over the canal. The current edition of Nicholson's Waterways Guide is a little confusing here as it calls this bridge Troutpool Bridge and Image New Troutpool Bridge. But old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show a Troutpool Bridge in the location of the latter from at least the 1916 edition onwards, whereas the bridge in this photograph is not shown in the 1937 edition. Logic suggests therefore that this is the New Troutpool Bridge.
This photograph was taken from the western end of an approximate 200 metre reach of the canal that is covered by an industrial building. The canal is enclosed on the northern side by the building wall but open through the concrete building support columns on the southern side. The 1937 edition of the Ordnance Survey mapping does not show this cover, but does show an electric furnace works on the north side of the canal. It would appear that this works has subsequently been extended out over the canal, and is shown as such in the 1952-1964 edition.
