	Birmingham & Fazeley Canal from Canal Junction
		Until recently, the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was a ‘private’ industrial world behind high walls with three long flights of locks (Farmer’s Bridge, Aston and Curdworth) coping with a steep descent from Gas Street Basin at the end of the Birmingham Canal to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley.
		The company created wharves and formed a junction with the Coventry (Fazeley Junction) at the point where it served the old Roman Road (Watling Street: A5).
		Hemmed in by factory walls, the locks could not be duplicated and were eventually bypassed completely (1844) by the 8 mile Tame Valley Canal which connected to the Birmingham and Fazeley at the bottom of the hill at Salford Junction.
