Finchfield Brook spends most of its short course in underground culverts. Here it is seen in a section which must be fairly near its source.
It pours out of a pipe to flow by a footpath which runs between between Coppice Road and Finchfield Lane, where it is once again covered up.
Further downstream, the stream is again visible west of the Smestow Valley Railway Walk, as it heads for the place where its waters discharge into the canal and the Smestow Brook.
The commentary should read “Smestow Valley Railway Walk” not Smethwick…
Thanks Keith – I’m not sure how I managed to make that slip of the keyboard, but it’s corrected now.
