Canals in Westside
 
Three canals converge in Westside: (1) the Birmingham and Worcester (2) the Birmingham and Wolverhampton and (3) the Birmingham and Fazeley.

Heading northwards from Lee Bank, the Birmingham and Worcester Canal passes beneath Granville Street and then makes a ninety degree westerly turn at the Mailbox and Cube.

It then continues towards Gas Street Basin where it joins the Birmingham and Wolverhampton Canal at the Worcester Bar.

Heading westwards from the Worcester Bar, the Birmingham and Wolverhampton Canal passes the Regency Wharf and travels beneath Broad Street before reaching Waters Edge and the International Convention Centre.

From there, the canal continues westwards to the Old Turn Junction next to the National Indoor Arena, the National Sealife Centre and the Malthouse pub.

At the Old Turn Junction, barges can continue westwards towards Ladywood or turn onto the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and continue northwards into Hockley.

Barges turning northwards will travel beneath King Edwards Road and past the Cambrian Wharf, the Flapper pub, the four Civic Centre tower blocks and locks 1-4 of the Farmers Bridge Flight.
