Looking north-east towards Curdworth and Fazeley. The Cincinatti factory on the left closed (c 2009?) and has been demolished since this 2012 image was obtained, and the land used for housing. The footbridge has also gone.

Birmingham and Fazeley Canal near Castle Vale, Birmingham
This is the canal seen from Minworth Top Lock. The Cincinnati Machine Tools factory always kept the canal-side area by their premises beautifully maintained, but now as I write (March 2010) the factory has been closed for many months.
The Birmingham and Fazeley's original purpose was to provide a link between Birmingham and the south east of England, by way of the Coventry Canal and the Oxford Canal. John Smeaton was the engineer, and the canal was completed in 1789. The canal now runs from the BCN Main Line at Old Turn Junction, Birmingham to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, just outside Tamworth. The length is 15 miles (24 km), and it includes 38 locks. There is also a short branch to Digbeth, Birmingham. Information from Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_and_Fazeley_Canal .

On the Birmingham & Fazeley canal near Tyburn. The houses have replaced factories, including probably the landscaped Cincinnati works.
