Site of Minworth Arm
Site of Minworth Arm is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line).
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Bournemouth. Expectations for stone traffic to Barton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1955 when St Helens Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

This used to be the entrance to the Tame and Rea workshops (now Severn Trent). Barges used to bring fly ash from Saltley power station to be unloaded and spread across the sewerage farm works. At one time there was a bridge carrying the towpath over the inlet. When the workshops were closed and moved to another area of the village the land was redeveloped so the inlet was shut off and shortened and the bridge demolished.
