Farmer's Bridge Locks
Photographed from under Old Snow Hill bridge with the Snow Hill viaduct in the background. The Birmingham canals still throw up the odd old-fashioned view.

Canal beneath Snow Hill Viaduct
The viaduct carries the old GWR line from Birmingham Snow Hill (the 'old' Snow Hill Station was, in my view, far superior to the new one) to Wolverhampton Low Level (and I won't get on that 'soap-box'). The metro station called St. Pauls is now above the canal.

Birmingham, by Piranesi
The vast, dank tunnel where the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal passes under the Snow Hill railway viaduct calls to mind the fantasy dungeons of the 18th century Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi.

Snow Hill Vicinity, Birmingham
A view in the direction of the Aston Expressway. The Birmingham and Fazeley Canal is now regarded as running from the Old Turn Junction (near the National Indoor Arena) to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley. In strictly legal terms however, it continues another 5½ miles beyond Fazeley (i.e. near Tamworth) to Whittington Brook as part of the line of the Coventry Canal. This graffiti is 25-30 metres away from an exit from the canal side (visible near the black and white post) into the “Old Snow Hill” area. Although this area is no longer part of the Jewellery Quarter, for a time during the late C19th and early C20th it was devoted to the manufacture of jewellery making equipment. At that time there was a huge growth in the manufacture of cheap, machine-made jewellery and numerous factories in this area supplied the machines used in its production.
