Following the huge success of his authoritative railway atlas of London, Joe Brown has turned his attention to the railway network in & around Birmingham & the West Midlands. Lying in the heart of Engl&, Birmingham is an important railway centre. Historically, Birmingham was the focus of Britain`s first trunk railway from London to the North, which became the London & North Western Railway, & the Midland & Great Western Railways also soon extended their networks to Birmingham, leading to the construction of two impressive stations
- New Street & Snow Hill. Although some lines & stations have disappeared, the bulk of the network continues to play a pivotal role in the life of the city & Britain as a whole. This new atlas provides a comprehensive study of the railways of the West Midlands. The area covered extends to Nuneaton, Coventry, Redditch, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Tamworth, Leamington & Stratford, with additional large scale & evolutionary maps of areas of particular interest. The detailed mapping shows individual track & platforms for all the lines, open & closed, as well as stations, changes of station name & opening & closing dates. The lines are colour coded by pre-Grouping company, with closed lines shown as thinner dashed lines.

A tourist map of the Birmingham Canal Navigations is at extra large scale of 1:30, 000, with a detailed town plan of Central Birmingham at 1:10, 000. Suitable for both waterways & leisure users. This map gives detailed coverage of the BCN with emphasis on the waterways & information useful & relevant to users of the waterways without neglecting other leisure users. The map detail is complimented by information panels & photographs.
Includes: navigation & historical information, visitor moorings, marinas & boatyards, boat hire centres, facilities for the boat user, sailing & boat clubs, shops, post offices & distance markers. Information for the tourist

Includes:: tourist information centres, places of interest, pubs, nature reserves, parks, gardens & open areas, churches, national cycle routes, long distance paths, public toilets, youth hostels & towpath access points. One of the world’s most intricate canal networks, the Birmingham Canal Navigations originally totalled some 160 miles; sadly a significant amount has been lost, but the remaining 100 miles still leave much to see & explore. Gas Street Basin in the city centre was once the hub of the network, whilst the working boats may have disappeared it’s still bustling, only now with pleasure craft. The basin is a mixture of both old & new, restored canal buildings, vibrant restaurants, bars & cafés, entertainment venues like the International Convention Centre, National Indoor Arena & theatres, as well as just being minutes from shopping centres & New Street Station. Despite much of the BCN being urban, there are quieter waters to be found meandering through more suburban & rural areas such as the lock free Wyrley & Essington Canal.
