Bordesley Junction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bordesley Junction (grid reference SP084864) is a canal junction where the Grand Union Canal splits near to Bordesley, Birmingham, England.

The southern arm is the main line of the Grand Union to London. The north-east arm was originally the Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal leading to Salford Junction and on to the north east and north west of the country. The north-west arm led to the Warwick Bar, Digbeth (or Proof House) Junction and the Digbeth Branch Canal of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, and on to Gas Street Basin for the main Birmingham wharfs and onward to the Severn via the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
