Steam engine, J & E Sturge, Lifford Lane
Belliss & Morcom engine No. 10642 of 1951 driving an alternator. Believed removed for reuse. Sturge were chemical manufacturers. I took no exteriors of the works but did stop to photograph the nearby guillotine stop lock on the Stratford Canal.

Stratford-upon-Avon Canal near King's Norton, Birmingham
This part of the canal was built in the mid 1790s, though financial problems caused delays before the canal could open as far as Kingswood Junction (with the Grand Union) in 1803. The second stage (to Stratford) did not start until 1812, and was finished by 1815. Initial plans for a wide canal (the reason for the wide bridges and tunnels) were abandoned at an early stage.

Guillotine Lock, King's Norton (East side)
One of the pair of Guillotine locks on the Stratford-on-Avon Canal at King's Norton. The locks are no longer in use but are Grade II* listed buildings. It is a pity that some thoughtless people felt they needed to spray graffiti on it.

Lifford Lane Bridge in King's Norton, Birmingham
This is bridge No 73 on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was constructed in stages between 1791 and 1815. 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.
