GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley and Duddeston: gwrhd680

There is little evidence in this photograph, taken in the last year of operations at Hockley, of just how busy the basin was in transferring goods to other parts of Birmingham via the extensive network of canals. Frank Popplewell states there were other canal and railway interchange basins on the Great Western system in Birmingham, but Hockley was the most important. C1967
