Stratford-upon-Avon Canal near Brandwood End, Birmingham
The canal has entered the tree shrouded cutting leading towards Brandwood Tunnel.
This part of the canal was built in the mid 1790s, though financial problems (what's new?) 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.
