I got onto the Birmingham Canal Navigations Old Main Line in Tipton at a bridge on Baker Street then walked as far as the Tipton Green Bridge. And then past Coronation Gardens to the Owen Street Bridge. It was a nice and sunny day but was very cold! At Tipton Junction where the Dudley No 1 Canal is to the left (towards the Black Country Living Museum) and Wolverhampton is to the right (along the old main line of the BCN). H & R ChemPharm is on the other side of the canal.
