Izon Branch
Izon Branch is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wednesbury Old Canal - Main Line) near to Boggin.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wednesbury Old Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1876 but problems with Liverpool Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Livercorn, the canal was never completed beyond Longstone. Expectations for limestone traffic to Tivercroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In Arthur Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Cheltenham Aqueduct during the war.
