Black Country Canal Walks - Heath Town To Wolverhampton City Centre
The Wyrley and Essington Canal, known locally as the Curly Wyrley, is a canal in the English Midlands. As built it ran from Wolverhampton to Huddlesford Junction near Lichfield, with a number of branches: some parts are currently derelict. Pending planned restoration to Huddlesford, the navigable mainline now terminates at Ogley Junction near Brownhills. In 2008 it was designated a Local Nature Reserve.
The canal was built to allow transport of coal from coal mines near Wyrley, Essington and New Invention to Wolverhampton and Walsall, but also carried limestone and other goods. An Act of Parliament received the Royal Assent on 30 April 1792, entitled An Act for making and maintaining a navigable Canal from, or from near, Wyrley Bank, in the county of Stafford, to communicate with the Birmingham and Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, at or near the town of Wolverhampton, in the said county; and also certain collateral Cuts therein described from the said intended Canal.
As the act's name suggests, this authorised the construction of the canal from the BCN Main Line of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (which would not be known as such until 1794) near Wolverhampton to Wyrley Bank, and the raising of up to £45,000 to pay for construction. William Pitt was appointed engineer.

Black Country Canal Walks - Wednesfield Village to Pool Hayes
The Bentley Canal is an abandoned canal that was part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations. A very short section still exists where it joins the Wyrley and Essington Canal in Wolverhampton. From there it headed generally southeast through Willenhall and Walsall and connected with the Anson Branch and thus the Walsall Canal. The main line opened in 1843, with the Neachell Hall Branch following two years later. The branch closed in 1953 and the main line in the early 1960s.
Pool Hayes Bridge is a minor waterways place on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) between Wednesfield Junction (Junction with closed Bentley Canal) (2 miles and 7¼ furlongs to the west) and Holly Bank Basin (Also known as the Short Heath Branch) (1½ furlongs to the east).
The nearest place in the direction of Wednesfield Junction is Pool Hayes and Miles Meadow Colliery Wharf; 2½ furlongs away.
The nearest place in the direction of Holly Bank Basin is Knights Bridge; ¾ furlongs away.

Black Country Canal Walks - Walsall Town Centre to Birchills Junction
The Walsall Canal is a narrow (7 feet or 2.1 metres) canal, seven miles (11 km) long, forming part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, and passing around the western side of Walsall, West Midlands, England.
The canal runs from Ryders Green Junction where it meets the Wednesbury Old Canal and the Ridgeacre Branch and immediately drops through the eight Ryders Green Locks to the 408-foot (124 m) Walsall Level. At Doe Bank Junction (Tame Valley Junction) it meets the Tame Valley Canal and the very short Ocker Hill Tunnel Branch, now private moorings, which fed water to the Ocker Hill pumps to replenish the Wolverhampton Level. It passes northwards, past the junction of the derelict Gospel Oak Branch and under the West Midlands Metro line, passes the short Bradley Branch at Moorcroft Junction. In this area it passes the huge iron gates of the Patent Shaft factory, which remain despite the factory's closure in 1980. It then passes the short Anson Branch (which once led to the Bentley Canal, abandoned 1961) and under the M6 motorway just south of junction 10. The very short Walsall Town Arm at Walsall Junction leads into Walsall itself while the main canal rises through eight locks to meet the Wyrley & Essington Canal at Birchills Junction.
The canal starts at the Birmingham Level, descends 45 feet (14 m) to the Walsall Level, then rises 65 feet (20 m) to the Wolverhampton Level.
Birchills Junction (grid reference SK002000) is the canal junction at the northern limit of what is now called the Walsall Canal where it meets the Wyrley and Essington Canal main line, near Walsall, West Midlands, England. It opened in 1798, but lasted for little more than a year, until it was re-opened in 1841 when a connecting link was built to the Birmingham Canal Navigations' southern route to Walsall.
A canal trip through Birmingham
We are on the second leg of our circumnavigation of the 'Black Country Ring'. It takes on a cruise via several canals. We have left Fazely and now on the Birmingham and Fazely canal. The crew are very busy as we negotiate the 'Aston Flight' of locks. We take a slightly spooky trip under the BT Tower and after emerging and tacking a couple of more locks, come to a halt. The canal water level is too low for us to proceed and it appears to be because of dumped rubbish. Are we going to have to end our trip? @montymagic5886
Walking The Walsall Canal (Part 4)
Continuing my walk along the towpath of the Walsall Canal, continuing from the old Moorcroft Junction where the Walsall Canal meets the remains of the Bradley Canal. I continue to Tame Valley Junction where the canal meets the Tame Valley Canal. Before the canal walk we have a quick explore of the remains of the Bradley Branch Canal to Great Bridge Road and then a quick look at Moorcroft Wood Nature Reserve, locally known as The Sanna
