Tame Valley in Autumn

Took some pics along the Tame Valley Canal (for a change), autumn is really hitting now.


In the countryside... or Brum?

A nice rural setting... or is it? Appearances can be misleading, we are still in the Birmingham area more or less up by the Birmingham & Fazeley canal in Minworth. Behind the camera is a sewage works and other more industrial things.

Junctions (2) : Salford Junction

A big junction is this, the Tame Valley & Grand Union canals both terminate here where they meet the Birmingham & Fazeley. If that is not enough transport fun you have Salford Circus, the Gravelly Hill Interchange, the Birmingham cross-city railway line and the River Tame all crossing here too!
