===Features=== At Common lock 10, on the lower lock tail, an inscription can be found in the stonework. It reads: "Pax Missa Per Orbem, Pax Quaeritur Bello", which translates as "Peace Is Sent Throughout The World, Peace Is Sought Through War". The inscription comes from two coins, the first part from the [[Queen Ann Farthing]], and the second part from the [[Broad (English gold coin)|Cromwell Broad]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://24carat.co.uk/frame.php?url=coininscriptionsframe.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720174454/https://24carat.co.uk/frame.php?url=coininscriptionsframe.html |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=live |title=Legends & Inscriptions on British Coins (Starting with "P") |publisher=Chard (1964) Ltd, Jewellers}}</ref> {{PoIgb start|type=collapsed}} {{PoIgb|[[Old Turn Junction]]|52.4792|-1.9139|SP058868|[[BCN Main Line]]|name=Old Turn Junction}} {{PoIgb|Stour Valley railway tunnel|52.4794|-1.9138|SP058868|[[Stour Valley Line|Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Stour Valley Railway]] runs beneath canal|name=Stour Valley railway tunnel (below)}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge Junction (original)|52.4806|-1.9125|SP059870|Junction with former Birmingham Canal Newhall Branch}} {{PoIgb|Cambrian Wharf basin|52.4806|-1.9118|SP059870|}} {{PoIgb|Newhall Branch (closed)|52.4808|-1.9110|SP060870|}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge top lock 1|52.4808|-1.9120|SP059870|}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 2|52.4811|-1.9110||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 3|52.4813|-1.9101||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 4|52.4815|-1.9092||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 5|52.4820|-1.9082||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 6|52.4823|-1.9076||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 7|52.4826|-1.9070||}} {{PoIgb|Whitmore Arm junction|52.4828|-1.9067||dry}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 8|52.4829|-1.9064||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 9|52.4833|-1.9057||Directly under [[Newhall Street]]}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 10|52.4837|-1.9050||Directly under Brindley House}} {{PoIgb|[[British Telecom Tower (Birmingham)|British Telecom Tower]]|52.4835|-1.9043||name=British Telecom Tower}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 11|52.4841|-1.9043||}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge lock 12|52.4851|-1.9027||}} {{PoIgb|[[Birmingham Snow Hill railway station|Birmingham Snow Hill station]] bridge|52.4854|-1.9021||name=Snow Hill station bridge}} {{PoIgb|Farmer's Bridge bottom lock 13|52.4859|-1.9012|SP067875|}} {{PoIgb|[[A38 road|Aston Expressway (Aston Road)]]|52.4903|-1.8894|SP075880|name=A38 (Aston Expressway)}} {{PoIgb|[[Aston Junction]]|52.4902|-1.8887|SP075880|[[Digbeth Branch Canal]]|name=Aston Junction}} {{PoIgb|Aston top lock 14|52.4904|-1.8882|SP075881|}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 15|52.4908|-1.8873||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 16|52.4913|-1.8866||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 17|52.4918|-1.8859||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 18|52.4924|-1.8853||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 19|52.4929|-1.8846||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 20|52.4940|-1.8833||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 21|52.4946|-1.8824||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 22|52.4986|-1.8774||}} {{PoIgb|Aston lock 23|52.5005|-1.8733||}} {{PoIgb|Aston bottom lock 24|52.5035|-1.8711|SP087895|[[Cross-City Line]]}} {{PoIgb|[[Salford Junction]]|52.5085|-1.8591|SP095901|[[Tame Valley Canal]], [[Grand Union Canal]]|name=Salford Junction}} {{PoIgb|Factory over canal|52.5083|-1.8449|SP105900|150 yards under factory buildings, open on one side}} {{PoIgb|Erdington Hall Bridge|52.5081|-1.8432|SP106900|Original site of bridge}} {{PoIgb|Minworth top lock|52.5225|-1.7957|SP138916}} {{PoIgb|Minworth middle lock|52.5252|-1.7904|SP142919|}} {{PoIgb|Minworth bottom lock|52.5288|-1.7775|SP150923|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth Tunnel|52.5364|-1.7389|SP177932|}} {{PoIgb|[[M6 Toll]] motorway bridge|52.5411|-1.7296|SP183937|name=M6 Toll bridge}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth top lock 1|52.5413|-1.7289|SP183937|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 2|52.5456|-1.7217|SP190942|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 3|52.5463|-1.7206|SP190943|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 4|52.5472|-1.7198|SP191944|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 5|52.5482|-1.7190|SP192945|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 6|52.5502|-1.7174|SP197947|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 7|52.5544|-1.7140|SP195952|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 8|52.5603|-1.7100|SP198959|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth lock 9|52.5625|-1.7093|SP198961|}} {{PoIgb|Common Lock 10|52.5678|-1.7064|SP200967|}} {{PoIgb|Kigsbury swivel bridge|52.5731|-1.7036|SP200973|}} {{PoIgb|Curdworth bottom lock 11|52.5733|-1.7035|SP202973|}} {{PoIgb|Aqueduct|52.5866|-1.7051|SP199988|Near [[Middleton Hall, Warwickshire|Middleton Hall]]}} {{PoIgb|Drayton swivel and ornamental bridges|52.6047|-1.7065|SK198008|}} {{PoIgb|Fazeley Mill Marina|52.6100|-1.7034|SK200014|}} {{PoIgb|[[Watling Street]]|52.6151|-1.7012|SK202020|name=Watling Street}} {{PoIgb|[[Fazeley Junction]]|52.6154|-1.7010|SK202020|[[Coventry Canal]] (to Coventry).
