WALSALL ROAD AQUEDUCT, 1844 Sandwell, West Midlands N52o 33' 3.9" W1o 58' 39.1"

This bolted iron trough aqueduct with its large brick abutments which support the raised embankment of the Tame Valley Canal (part of the Birmingham Canal Navigation) carries the canal over Walsall Road. It is very similar to it near neighbor the Tame Valley Aqueduct which carries the same canal over Hydes Road. The only difference is that this aqueduct has solid iron parapets instead of the latter's Regency railings which gives it a very fortress-like aspect.

It is tricky to find because it is wedged in a corner by the railway and the surrounding residential neighborhood. Stick to A4031 if you can, although it is not well marked as such or as Walsall Road either.
