Farmers Bridge Locks at Snow Hill
Widening the Snow Hill Bridge in 1971 - Birmingham Library
The Digbeth Branch and its Ashted Locks are far from lost but the rate of redevelopment in the area in the first couple of decades of the 21st Century have rendered the place almost unrecognisable. Only the line of the canal remains true to its origins and these images capture how the surrounds used to look.

The above photos have been assembled from various sources, including those freely found on the internet. My thanks go to the many photographers alive and dead who have contributed to this collection and in so doing, are keeping the memory of these lost canals alive. These images are reproduced for ease of research are are not necessarily the property of this blog, and as such should not be used for commercial gain without the explicit permission of the owner (whoever that may be).
