Ogley Junction

Ogley Junction (grid reference SK056060), on the Staffordshire county border near Brownhills, West Midlands, England, is a historic canal junction on the Wyrley and Essington Canal where the Anglesey Branch left the main line (which led to the Coventry Canal at Huddlesford Junction, near Lichfield).

The Wyrley and Essington Canal became disused east of Ogley Junction and was abandoned in 1954. Subsequently this stretch has been named the Lichfield Canal and is under restoration.
