THE BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAVIGATIONS, MAIN LINES LOOPS AND BRANCHES. (PART 1A): Running time 100 mins
N.B. Now available as part of the compilation set "Canals of the West Midlands"
The story of the two BCN main lines. Telford straightened out Brindley’s twisting contour canal to form a main line which at times is doubled. The loops formed by Telford’s cut still in some cases remain in water and navigable, others are hidden from the world and some are difficult to trace at all. There were major branches which fed the main lines, again some are still extant, others but a memory. In this volume we trace all visible remains to show as much as possible of the two main lines. Much use is made of archive footage and stills which allow the viewer to see what the scene was like when functioning as a trading waterway.
