Parkhead Railway Viaduct (disused)
Parkhead Railway Viaduct (disused) is an notable flight of locks on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 1 - Through Route) near to Southpool Cutting.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 1 - Through Route) was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. In Henry Edwards's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Tendring Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.

There is a bridge here which takes a disused railway over the canal.
