The Birmingham Canal Navigations established canal carriers wharves alongside the Newhall Branch of their waterway in Birmingham. They started near junction with the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal and where until the 1840's Farmer's Bridge crossed the canal. They extended along the Newhall Branch on the offside to the towpath as far as the junction with the private Gibsons Arm. Whilst all traces of these warehouses were removed in the late 1960's, save a couple of cranes, left as a feature, the cobbled path down from Kingston Row remains. It is a rare survivor from the 1790's when these wharves were first established.
