Submitted by Phil Champion
Name The Harborne Walkway
Distance 0.25 miles from B15 3QD
Description Looking north along the high embankment which crosses the Chad Valley. This peaceful and attractive path follows the trackbed of the former Harborne Railway. The 2 mile 34 chain single track line was opened to Harborne in 1874. Passenger services ended in 1934. Goods services continued into the 1950s, as the line also served the Mitchell & Butlerls Brewery and the Chad Valley toy factory. The line was finally closed in 1963.
