Birmingham Canal main Line
Birminghams Main Line canal, designed by Thomas Telford. The 'New Main Line' runs through massive cuttings and bold embankments through the heart of the Black Country. The 19th century equivalent of a motorway, the Main Line runs straight as an arrow from Birmingham to Tipton before heading off to Wolverhampton. Thomas Telford's improvements shortened the route between Birmingham and Wolverhampton by around seven miles whilst also using fewer locks.
