Birmingham City Centre

Tony Hancock Memorial in the Old Square, Corporation Street. The memorial stands on the filled in island that once had pedestrian underpasses and public toilets, that gave pedestrian access to the various roads off this island. All changed during the city redevelopment and removal of elevated roads.

Bordesley

The canal used to go straight ahead here through another lock and on towards the railway viaduct in the distance. When the Birmingham Middle ring road was built in the 1990s the canal was diverted to the left with dog-leg to use a brand new lock so as to make space for the road

Garrison Locks

The top lock of the Garrison Locks, hidden away in the midst of Bordesley. This is still technically part of the Grand Union/Birmingham & Warwick Canal although resembling much of the rest of the BCN.
