One of the areas where major improvements are made in Birmingham, is the canal area. You can take a boat to see it, but it is also possible to follow the tow paths.
Sometimes, the broad quays narrow down to a towpath that is just enough to let one person pass at a time. You can even see the signs of ropes having eaten their ways into the sidepillars under bridges. Walking further along the canals took me to the locks of the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. Here, I stayed to see two boats on their way down the canal, their skippers manually opening and closing the locks, and sweating it out under a warm June midday sun. The locks are made to measure, as the narrowboats just fit in. Walking up the stairs took me to a main street and back to the other, modern, busy Birmingham that seemed to far away on the quiet canals.
