Parker Branch Canal

October 2023

The Parker Branch is little more than a long basin which left the Mainline  to the west at Bromford Junction serving the Oldbury Railway Carriage and Waggon Works.

Hi Andy,
Cracking pics. You’d never think that it ever existed now as you cruise past along the New Main Line, or down from Spon Lane.
I’ve tried to spot the telltale concrete stanking but can’t pinpoint it for sure.
