The final cut

Well it had to end one day, and where better than where it all started in September 2009. Now in 2025, this photograph has been taken nearly exactly where the 2009 one was taken, and thats a wrap! The canal here has not changed all that much in sixteen years, apart from some tree growth.

Many thanks for visiting this blog over the years, it will be left up though will no longer be updated. My waterways website will continue to be updated weekly though.

Goodbye and happy gongoozling!

Moor Lane Bridge

If my lunchtime walks usually were as far as College Road Bridge, they always started at this bridge.

College Road Bridge

In the 2000s i worked at the university in Perry Barr. At lunchtimes i started walking along the nearby canal, the Tame Valley Canal. In 2009 i began this blog showing the things i saw along the canal. Usually, on my lunchtime walks i would go as far as this bridge.

The last stretch

After sixteen years and thousands of posts it is finally time to bring this waterways blog to an end (my waterway adventures are continuing on my dedicated website of course). So, what shall we do for the final week? Well it has to be the canal where it all began, the Tame Valley Canal. Let's go!
