Somers Forge, Halesowen
The view up the main approach to this world class forge and heavy engineering site. Capable of aerospace and nuclear industry standard work, it is best remembered for making parts of the infamous Iraqi super gun. The huge workshops dominate the traditional office building.

Somers Forge, with Mucklow Hill in the background. This was taken from the top of a car park in town centre as it was the only place I could access to obtain a photograph at the same level as the forge.

Dudley No. 2 Canal, Leasowes, Halesowen
This is where the canal ends against Mucklow Hill. The map fails to show an infilled 'dam' across the canal at Leasowes Park but I'm more or less stood on it. Behind me the canal along the embankment has had essential repairs carried out and is in water although divorced from the navigable section.

Limit of navigation, Dudley No. 2 Canal, 1987
A bridge was deliberately collapsed into the canal to prevent further navigation. This remains the limit for the foreseeable future. What looks vaguely like a piano is a duck house.
