The Lapal Canal Project is about restoring the Lapal Canal from Selly Oaks to the current Dudley No. 2 Canal near Hawne Basin. The Lapal Canal Trust is working hard to recreate this link that has been lost when the Lapal Tunnel was closed from 1917 onwards.
Restoration of the tunnel itself s, unfortunately, out of the question, so a new, ambitious route is planned, which takes the canal "over the hill" where it used to run through the tunnel.
To support the restauration project, I've created a virtual tour for the trust. It covers 11 locations, from the eastern end in Selly Oak Park to the western end near Hawne Basin. A (to me) surprising length of the canal is still in water, the planned route of the canal is marked in blue on the virtual tour.
Click here or on the screenshot below to open the virtual tour in a new browser window. You can switch filmstrip and map on and off, the map is off by default.
A similar thing could be done for other canal restoration projects - please contact me directly.
