Black Lake
Some rather unhappy council houses off Swan Lane in West Bromwich. Unlike the brick-built houses on the estate, many of these prefabby ones are boarded up. I guess when they're all empty they'll knock them down and fill the gaps with something a little more habitable.

Ridgacre Branch Canal, Swan Village
The Ridgacre Branch left the Wednesbury Old Canal at Swan Lane Junction and ran for approximately a mile north-eastwards. Since the building of the Black Country Spine Road the branch has been inaccessible to boats: the bridge from which this photograph is taken is one of several that are closer to culverts in their size. The branch remains in water as a wildlife habitat and walkers' route.

Shared Equity housing for sale
The area north of Black Lake tram stop is being partially rejuvenated by new construction. The intent appear to be to replace old, substandard council housing with modern dwellings where the occupier shares ownership with a housing association. The area is certainly much smarter than most council estates. This is the corner of Finchpath and Pemberton Roads.

Ridgacre Canal, Black Lake, West Bromwich
The Ridgacre Canal or Ridgacre Branch, is a branch of the Wednesbury Old Canal, which is part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN). The Ridgacre Canal is no longer navigable as it was cut off from the rest of the BCN in the early 1990's by the construction of the Black Country Spine Road. There were branches off this closed canal but they have long disappeared.
