Ogley Junction- No Access


We look forward to the day when we can chug up towards the three spires of Lichfield after canal restoration...............
(I note I have inadvertently called HS2 "HST"!) 




 

 

Canal Milestones

Having spent ages locating old turnpikes and milestones I'm now on the lookout on the towpath



 

Canal Hazards




 


Fradley Junction ....and warning signs at the Toilet Factory

 

Utopia, Amington

I stumbled upon Utopia in Amington, former pit village....... all the canal bridges have names not numbers on the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. Plus a bit of canal art  on a barge paneling at the Swan, Fradley Junction

 

Daydream Believer


With Thanks to the Three Tons, Fazeley.
 And our New Year's Eve serenader on the towpath, Mrs Taggart. 

 

Boundary Stone


 

Daydreaming: lovely mooring at Whittington, where the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal finally met the Coventry Canal. The man from Brum got fed up of waiting and dug out this bit to join it up in 1790

Glamping



Daydreaming: They really did look like Glamping Pods........as seen on the
 Birmingham and Fazeley Canal
