Oldbury Locks
There are six locks here leading up from the BCN (Birmingham Canal Navigations) old main line to the highest point on the BCN network - a summit level at 511ft. This is really a canal strictly for enthusiasts - after coming up the locks through industrial surroundings there is nothing much to do other than turn round and go back down again. The pond weed and rubbish in the water are testimony to the lack of use. Still, the locks are not heavy and, for the observant, there is plenty of interest.
