[edit] Notes for possible future inclusion
- 209 ft Birmingham and Fazeley: Part of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal is the lowest point of the BCN.
- Interfaces to other canals: Aldersley Junction (and Autherley Junction) 132 ft below Wolverhampton level = 341 ft.
- Stourbridge Canal 356 ft. Oosoom Talk to me 19:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
I've used the only BCN lock picture I could find, but since it doesn't link any of the named levels, and is on a canal not listed in the article, we probably need a more appropriate picture (or pictures)! Andy Mabbett 20:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've added two images of the New Smethwick Pumphouse, showing the two levels. Shame the exposure does not match. Oosoom Talk to me 21:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks - those are good and appropriate images, but I was specifically referring to a picture of a lock. Great article, BTW! Andy Mabbett 21:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

- I've made, uploaded and linked to a gamma-corrected version (I use IrfanView, for Windows, - it's free! See its "Image/ Enhance Colours" menu options). How does that look? I didn't overwrite the original , as I notice that it's used elsewhere. Andy Mabbett 21:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
