View of the now redundant Canal Wharf and Basin seen in 1967, the last year of Hockley's working life

View of the now redundant Canal Wharf and Basin seen in 1967, the last year of Hockley's working life. There is little evidence now of the extensive operations which were once an every day occurrence at Hockley in transferring goods to other parts of Birmingham via the extensive network of canals. Frank Popplewell states that whilst there were other canal and railway interchange basins on the Great Western system in Birmingham, none were as important as Hockley.
