Rednal Basin
In Victorian times this half-acre pool of water and its adjacent railway line exemplified the term "integrated transport system". Goods were loaded on and off boats waiting in the small basin and from there it was a 200- yard journey down an arm of the Montgomery Canal into the canal itself.
You can just see the swing bridge at the end where it leads into the Montgomery Canal (info by courtesy of the Independent)
