Deep Cuttings Junction has an island, originally placed there
during World War 2, to enable stop planks to be dropped in to isolate
the top of the Birmingham and Fazeley canal from the BCN Main Line.
This ability was needed, because the (then) LMS Railway ran under
the canal, approximately where the Malt House pub now is.
There
was concern that if a bomb damaged the canal, the main line through
New Street Station would be flooded, with the water from a pound that
must be about thirty miles long.
The island no longer has stop
plank slots, since it was moved when the central Brum part of the
canal was tidied up.
