DID YOU KNOW...
James Brindley, king of canal building, died just days after completion of his last project. His first, The Newhall Branch, no longer exists. It was drained and built over in the late 1930s. Cambrian Wharf is where this branch connected with the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The canal network is now protected, but is becoming evermore flanked by new developments.
