Water II

The Anson Branch Canal, quarter of a mile west of the site, was built completed in 1830 - more than sixty years after it had been authorised. It is a branch of the Walsall Canal (part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations). It was also once connected to the Wyrley and Essington Canal via the Bentley Canal

It was built to serve the coal and limestone industry in the area.
