Kings Norton Junction

Kings Norton Junction (grid reference SP052794) is the name of the canal junction where the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal terminates and meets the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Kings Norton, Birmingham, England.

High on the wall of the Worcester and Birmingham toll house is a 1993 reproduction of the scale of toll fees in 1793. Fees varied from ½d per ton per mile for lime, to 1 3/4d for food or finished products.

The water of the two canal companies was kept apart by the nearby Lifford Lane guillotine stop lock, both gates kept open since nationalisation of the canals in 1948.
