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.
