Railway bridge over the canal near Minworth, Birmingham
There is a line (closed here to passengers in 1965, plans to reopen are being discussed 2019-20)) between Walsall, Sutton Coldfield and Nuneaton crossing this bridge. Beyond is a footbridge.
The Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was completed in 1789 having been engineered and supervised by John Smeaton. It linked Birmingham (Farmer's Bridge Junction) with the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction. It is fifteen miles in length, with 38 locks. An extension to the north-west along part of the Coventry Canal route to Whittington was added later.
