![Rushall or Newton Junction. The junction of the Tame Valley Canal [foreground] and the Rushall Canal [through the towpath bridge]. by Christine Johnstone – 05 May 2018](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/77/59/5775907_2bb09c12_120x120.jpg)







![Where past meets present - Yew Tree, West Midlands. The Rushall Canal was constructed in 1847 to provide a link between the Daw End Branch and the Tame Valley Canal, giving a route for coal transport from the collieries at Cannock. Here at the Rushall Junction Bridge I stood awhile looking at the rope marks, wondering what the canal men of those days would have made of the speeding traffic on the M6 behind.
