Worcester and Birmingham Canal near Selly Park, Birmingham
This part of the canal was built in the early/mid 1790s, though completion as far as Diglis basin in Worcester took until 1815. This is the canal as seen from beneath the arch of Bridge No 78 (Raddlebarn Road).

Tower View, Selly Oak
This picture shows Matrons Walk in the foreground and Tower View (a road) behind. These properties were built around 2018 as part of the redevelopment of the Selly Oak Hospital site. Even now, in 2022, the development is not quite completed. The photographer is standing only about 15m from where the hospital helipad was. Two old buildings can be seen. They are retained fragments of the hospital which was originally the King's Norton Union Workhouse.

Worcester and Birmingham Canal near Bournville, Birmingham
This image shows the canal approaching Selly Oak, seen from beneath the brick arch of Raddlebarn Road Bridge, No 78.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was built in stages between 1791 and 1815 to connect the River Severn in Worcester to the Birmingham Canal System using a quicker route than the earlier Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.
Grain, timber and agricultural produce were carried to the Midlands. Industrial goods and coal were carried down towards Worcester, often for onward transport to Bristol. Later, salt carrying was added as a regular cargo. Pairs of donkeys were often used in preference to horses, maybe because they could easily be put onto the boats which had to be legged (or pulled by tug) through the four tunnels near Birmingham.
