Pinkston Basin is on the Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Main Line).
The Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Main Line) was built by Peter Clarke and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Dover. Expectations for manure traffic to Oldcroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Wolverhampton power station was enough to keep it open. The Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Walsall Embankment collapsed. In Thomas Yates's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Rochdale Cutting during the war.
