Ryders Green Road Bridge is an notable flight of locks on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal).
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

There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

![Ryder's Green Junction. This is a part of the canal network that relatively few boaters ever reach. To the right the Wednesbury Old Canal continues a short distance to the modern end of navigation at Swan Village; nowadays it is often referred to as the Ridgacre (or Ridgeacre) Branch although this is historically inaccurate. A short distance beyond this junction the branch was found to be completely choked with weed and impassable (see [[4309096]]). To the left is the start of the Walsall Canal which immediately descends through the eight Ryder's Green Locks; mooring posts for boats waiting to enter the locks can be seen on the left of the picture. The brickwork is what remains of a turnover bridge which would have allowed a horse drawn boat to proceed along the Wednesbury Old Canal without detaching the tow rope. by Stephen McKay – 09 January 2015](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/31/62/4316231_b8e76ad7_120x120.jpg)
