SP0288 : Navigable canal feeder from under the bridge on Bridge Street
taken 5 years ago, near to Smethwick, Sandwell, England
Navigable canal feeder from under the bridge on Bridge Street
It is now possible to walk from the Engine Arm Aqueduct to the gate ahead that prevents access to the permanent private moorings beyond. There is an exit to Bridge Street just beyond the bridge. The feeder both supplied water from Rotton Park Reservoir to the Old Main Line but also took recirculated water from the bottom of the Smethwick locks to the top using steam pumps in a long since demolished pump house close by.
