Birchills Junction
Junction of Wyrley and Essington and Walsall Branch Canals
Birchills Junction Bridge, Walsall WS2 7FD, United Kingdom
Birchills Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for manure traffic to Torquay never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Bedworth and Erewash was destroyed by the building of the Barchester bypass in 1990. In his autobiography Arthur Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) between London and Bassetlaw were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Scarborough by John Longbotham but languished until William Clarke was appointed as surveyor in 1816. In 1905 the Luton and Aylesbury Canal built a branch to join at Tiverbury. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) was closed in 1955 when Willington Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Cecil Green writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

Wikipedia has a page about Birchills Junction
Birchills Junction (grid reference SK002000) is the canal junction at the northern limit of what is now called the Walsall Canal where it meets the Wyrley and Essington Canal main line, near Walsall, West Midlands, England. It opened in 1798, but lasted for little more than a year, until it was re-opened in 1841 when a connecting link was built to the Birmingham Canal Navigations' southern route to Walsall.
