   Lichfield Canal

   The Lichfield Canal, as it is now known, was historically a part of the Wyrley and Essington Canal, being the section of that canal from Ogley Junction at Brownhills on the northern Birmingham Canal Navigations to Huddlesford Junction, east of Lichfield, on the Coventry Canal, a length of 7 miles. The branch was abandoned in 1955, along with several other branches of the Wyrley and Essington, and much of it was filled in.
