Harborne Junction: lnwrhj2223a

Close up of image 'lnwrhj2223' showing the position of the bridge carrying the Harborne branch over the canal in relation to the Stour Valley line. The height of the line together with the sharp curve needed to cross the canal are very apparent in this view. The sharp curve contributed towards the accident in 1953 when a number of wagons were derailed at this point and fell into the canal.
