Birmingham and Fazeley Canal near Minworth, Birmingham Here the canal is leaving the built up part of Birmingham and approaches Curdworth through flat farm land. There are still some recently built factory units and a sewage works to the south (right) of the canal. The original purpose of this canal was to provide a link between Birmingham and the south east of England, by way of the Coventry Canal and the Oxford Canal. John Smeaton was the engineer, and the canal was completed in 1789. The canal now runs from the BCN Main Line at Old Turn Junction, Birmingham to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, just outside Tamworth. The length is 15 miles (24 km), and it includes 38 locks. There is also a short branch to Digbeth, Birmingham. Information from Wiki Birmingham_and_Fazeley_Canal .

Wiggins Hill Bridge near Curdworth, Warwickshire Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The original purpose of this canal was to provide a link between Birmingham and the south east of England, by way of the Coventry Canal and the Oxford Canal. John Smeaton was the engineer, and the canal was completed in 1789. The moored narrowboat beyond the bridge is having engine problems, and has just blown out an almighty cloud of murky smoke! The bridge carries Wiggins Hill Road from the A4097 (to the right) to Over Green and Grove End.

Great stay ideal for the NEC for us. Not 4 stars because we were in room 109 front facing and at intervals you could hear trains going along, even with the windows shut. It got quite frustrating.
