Dudley No 2 Canal
The Dudley No 2 Canal runs for ten miles through suburbia and the remains of industry. It now ends prematurely at Hawne Basin, near Halesowen. The derelict section of line after the basin is also known as the Lapal Canal, and extends through the lengthy Lapal Tunnel to Selly Oak.
Once a through-route from industrial Dudley to Selly Oak and rural Worcestershire, it now ends prematurely in Halesowen. The lengthy Lapal Tunnel - famously Britain's most claustrophobic - is no longer passable. But in time, the Lapal Canal Trust hopes to restore the waterway to its former glory.
