Black Delph
Black Delph is a famous waterways junction.
The Stourbridge Canals (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1876. The two mile section between Horsham and Oldchester was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Smith painted a mural of Warwick Tunnel on the side of John Wright's house to raise money for Children in Need.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 1 - Through Route) was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. In Henry Edwards's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Tendring Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.
