Sneyd Junction, Sneyd, Walsall 20/06/2014

            Situated close to Sneyd Lane in Bloxwich, Sneyd Wharf is a regular mooring for a number of craft. Sneyd Wharf is part of  the Birmingham Canal Navigations, being on the Wyrley and Essington Canal which is seen running left to right in this image.

The branch to my immediate right is the long disused Wyrley Branch canal. From the junction a flight of five locks carried the canal to the main branch level, however, only one of the five now remains.

The Wyrley and Essington branch was opened on 1798 in order to service coal mines in the area, it finally closed in 1955.
