Birmingham spans over 100 miles of canals, including Brindleyplace - named after canal engineer James Brindley. An array of Birmingham landmarks punctuate the skyline above Black Sabbath, the godfathers of heavy metal, overlooking the tunnel that leads to Gas Street Basin. Illuminated in front of Grand Central stands Laurence Broderick’s 6.5 ton bronze bull and ambling canalside through falling blossom is legendary Birmingham writer & poet Benjamin Zephaniah.
