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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartland Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 28/09/2022 16:27 The Elsan is now available for use but the toilet and shower remain closed.

Heartland Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 This one is a view along a road in the West Midllands showing a Turnpike Toll House and Canal Bridge. If you are a boater, the name of the bridge may be a useful bit of equipment on some rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
