Galton Valley Canal 
Heritage Centre, the Smethwick Pumping Station and Smethwick Engine provide a 
fascinating insight into the town and valley that grew up alongside the 
canal.
The museum looks at 
the history, archaeology, ecology, architecture and social life of this lost 
era. The Galton Bridge, Smethwick Pumping Station and the Smethwick Engine are 
all close by. 
In the recent 2009 
Black Country Tourism Awards, the Heritage Centre was a Silver Award winner in 
the "Best Visitor Attraction" catergory.
The centre has had 
support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and there are many events throughout the 
year. The guided walks are highly recommended.
