Walsall Locks and Basin
For all their lack of traffic, the canals of Walsall have never been abandoned. However, the area has a rich canal heritage which has been lost and I thought a page devoted to archive images of the town's locks and basin would let me keep track of them and build a library.

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).
