sellyoak to Kingsnorton - Worcester and Birmingham canal

I explore selly oak to Kingsnorton on the Worcester and Birmingham canal looking at some interesting stuff along the way , scenery bits of history and more a lovely section of canal that I've never explored before ending at Kingsnorton by the guillotine lock . I also look at the back of of the Cadbury factory from the canal line .

Hi Drew, like you, I love to see the old industry and wonder what it was like back then. I've walked the W&B canal from Birmingham to Wast hill tunnel, and the Stratford canal from Kings Norton Junction to Brandwood tunnel. I think it's got to be by bike the rest of the way, and in better weather! The last time I was there, the old toll house was half burned down, and it was all scaffolded up and covered up. Nice to see it all done up again, let's hop the A holes leave it alone!

Hi bud interesting canal this one I'll have to do a video towards wast hills then you have the Stratford canal I will have to try and film . Definitely a long way so the ebikes do come in useful . I loved exploring this canal towards Kingsnorton was tempted to go further but it was too cold on the day

I really love exploring the canal networks, I had a beautiful canal boat holiday the year before last and it really is such a different word there with such fascinating histories! Great video!

Enjoyed this along with all the others. regards the Bournville part, during the war a bomb landed right on one of the bridges carrying the canal over one of the roads near to the Cadbury factory. The canal water poures through the hole & flooded the road beneath, sadly a lot of familys were sheltering in the cellars of the houses & unfortunately drowned. I dont know how many lives were lost but it was quite a lot. I think theres a monument to them in one of the local churches.

Thanks mate appreciate that I might do a video separately on the Cadburys like show frankley beeches , the factory and go back to tardebigge reservoir to make it into one video . I'll have to have a look at some of the churches nearby

Nice video, I always wondered what those hatches were for on the Bridges, there are some near Dudley Port on the old Mainline Canal. Great video, nice to watch as I only walked this earlier this year. All the best, Webby 👍🏻

[@MidlandsOutdoors]
