Junctions (10) : Winson Green Junction
Close to the prison (!), where the Soho Loop rejoins the Main Line.

Birmingham Main Line & Soho Loop
Another day off another canal walk. Today i walked along the Birmingham Main Line from Brindley Place up to Rotton Park Junction (i have walked this before) but at the junction i then headed off down virgin territory in the shape of the Soho Loop. Some grim examples of Britain's rusting industrial past exist down this loop and i was also surprised to come across HMP Winson Green! Luckily there were no escaped convicts on the towpath. Here are the photos i took.

Grand Union in Leamington
Back to Leamington Spa where the Grand Union flows through the centre of the town (and handily flows opposite the railway station!) I had a nice walk along the canal until i was outside of the town. Plenty of boats, interesting sights and ducks. Millions of ducks! They all seemed to want bread from me too but alas i was bread-less. Here are the photographs.
