The drawing of the BCN

Heartland

master brummie
Viv published a view of the BCN some time ago which seems to be modern drawing based on a map of 1778

Stating it as being a 1772 representation is perhaps ambitious. The construction of the Paradise Street branch was just completed. where the boat dock (now the site of the Bar Lock) was built then must be considered conjectural until a check of minutes is made.

Still it is a useful perspective to show how the original canals developed in this ongoing period of BCN 250.
