Tipton travel guide

Just notice this old boat yard next to the train station

This is the Birmingham canal but this stretch runs through Tipton and under Owen Street, we call it 'Tipton cut'

Tipton Public library. Built 1905 by George H Wenyon. Now used as a community centre

I got onto the Birmingham Canal Navigations Old Main Line in Tipton at a bridge on Baker Street then walked as far as the Tipton Green Bridge. And then past Coronation Gardens to the Owen Street Bridge. It was a nice and sunny day but was very cold! At Tipton Junction where the Dudley No 1 Canal is to the left (towards the Black Country Living Museum) and Wolverhampton is to the right (along the old main line of the BCN). H & R ChemPharm is on the other side of the canal.
