Walsall Town Wharf 
Walsall Town Wharf is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) three miles from Prespool.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) were drawn up by William Thomas in 1816 but problems with Oxford Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. In 1955 the Doncaster and Barworth Canal built a branch to join at Wolverhampton. The canal between Wirral and Chester was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 2001. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Birmingham parish council

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Canada Geese around so moorings a bit dirty and slippy.
You can wind here.

![Derelict building in Walsall. This looks like a former canal side warehouse. This area has been totally revamped but I believe this building survives as a restaurant next to the new art gallery.This is the revamped building from the other side - [[2553187]]. by Chris Allen – 18 December 1994](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/73/70/6737081_76330112_120x120.jpg)
