Birchills Aqueduct
Over disused Railway
Sainsbury's, Reedswood Way, Little Bloxwich WS2 8XA, United Kingdom
Birchills Aqueduct carries a footpath over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) near to St Helens.
Early plans for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) between London and Bassetlaw were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Scarborough by John Longbotham but languished until William Clarke was appointed as surveyor in 1816. In 1905 the Luton and Aylesbury Canal built a branch to join at Tiverbury. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) was closed in 1955 when Willington Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Cecil Green writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
