Former Warrener's Arms, corner of High Street and Ogley Road, Brownhills
The public house is shown on the earliest OS map, dated 1884. It looks more Edwardian than Victorian: rebuilt perhaps.

Catshill Junction view - Brownhills, Staffordshire
A view of Catshill Junction, looking north-north-east from Catshill Junction Bridge, where the Daw End Branch Canal at its northern end joins the Wyrley and Essington Canal, locally known for its winding course as the Curly Wyrley. The Daw End Branch Canal opened in 1803 to transport coal and limestone from local workings to the Black Country furnaces. It runs from Catshill Junction Image to Longwood Junction Image a distance of 5.25 miles. It being a contour canal, there are no locks along its length. The placename Daw End is locally pronounced as Doe End. The Wyrley and Essington Canal was constructed in the early 1790s from Wolverhampton, originally to Wyrley Bank and Essington collieries and with a later extension to Huddlesford Junction, near Lichfield. The engineer was William Pitt and being a contour canal there were no locks along its length. The Canal has been affected by subsidence from the very collieries it was built to serve and some parts are currently derelict. Source: www.canalrivertrust.org.uk. Time taken 1.12 pm BST (British Summer Time).

Catshill Junction
At Catshill Junction the Daw End Branch heads south from the Wyrley & Essington Canal main line through this bridge. It is not in fact a branch any more, continuing as the Rushall Canal to meet the Tame Valley Canal at Rushall Junction.
