EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the forgotten beauty of Digbeth Canal in Birmingham during the 1980s. The image, taken in 1987, reveals a scene of tranquility amidst the industrial ruins of the past. The once vibrant waterway, now derelict and disused, winds its way through the heart of the Bordesley area, with its crumbling brickwork and overgrown vegetation. The canal, a branch of the Inland Waterways, is a stark reminder of the passage of time and the changing fortunes of this historic city. The scene is dominated by the abandoned bridge, its metalwork rusted and weathered, standing as a testament to the industrial heritage of the region. The bridge, one of many that once connected the various branches of the canal network, now serves as a silent sentinel, guarding the quiet waters below. The junction where the Digbeth Canal meets the main line is a desolate place, with the only sounds being the gentle lapping of the water against the banks and the occasional call of a distant bird. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Philip Dunn, provides a poignant glimpse into Birmingham's industrial past. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and the importance of preserving its heritage for future generations. Today, the Digbeth Canal is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with plans to restore the waterway and breathe new life into the area. This photograph, however, serves as a powerful reminder of the canal's past, a past that is an essential part of Birmingham's story.
