Is it Deepfields junction?

 

That would be my guess too.

Have you been in the basin at Wolverhampton at Broad Street Warehouse that was originally part of the old canal main line ?

 

Where might this have been

Yes. I've been in Broad Street basin a couple of times, once with Atlas and Malus and once with my own boat. Is there a water point still in there now that CRT have moved their maintenance yard down the canal?

Yes it is Deepfield Junction where the New Main Line diverges from the Old and in later times became known at least in part as the Wednesbury Oak Loop

 

I recognise that, last time I had to do that turn there was torrential rain and a howling crosswind which made things more than a little tricky...

Yes still a water point in there.

And a skip for rubbish.

Toilet, shower and elsan closed.

All shut now.

Have been for a few months.

Supposed to be a temporary closure.

The last update on the closure notice stated the elsan was open.  As it is totally separate building from the toilet and shower I could see why it could be opened on its own.

The Elsan is now available for use but the toilet and shower remain closed.

I think lots of people don't realise the elsan is in the small building on the opposite side of the arm towards the road gates.
