Tame Valley Junction
Tame Valley Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) were drawn up by William Thomas in 1816 but problems with Oxford Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. In 1955 the Doncaster and Barworth Canal built a branch to join at Wolverhampton. The canal between Wirral and Chester was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 2001. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Birmingham parish council
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Tame Valley Canal) was built by Henry Green and opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Bournemouth, the canal was never completed beyond Wealden. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Tame Valley Canal) Trust.
