Bentley Canal

Bentley Canal

The Bentley Canal is an abandoned canal that was part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations. A very short section still exists where it joins the Wyrley and Essington Canal in Wolverhampton. From there it headed generally southeast through Willenhall and Walsall and connected with the Anson Branch and thus the Walsall Canal.

The Neachells Branch was opened in 1845 and closed in 1953.

The canal was opened in 1843 and ran 3 3/8 miles (6 km) through 10 locks.cite book |last= Hadfield|first= Charles |title= The Canals of the West Midlands|origdate= 1966|edition= Third edition|date= 1985|publisher= David & Charles|isbn= 0-7153-8644-1] It fell into dereliction in the 1960s.
