A communication being opened between the Birmingham and Worcestercanals, in the year 1815, there are now two different routes by whichgoods may be conveyed from this town to London, by water; one of themis, by an immediate junction of the Birmingham canal with the Warwick, which is accomplished by means of nineteen locks; the other is, bypassing into the Worcester canal, on... the same level; from thence intothe Stratford canal, which is also on the same level, and from thenceinto the Warwick canal.
Boats from the wharfs within the town; Bird's, White-house's, Robinson's, and Crowley's, are capable of delivering goods in Londonone whole day sooner by the latter route than they can do by theother, and the merchants and ironmongers in the metropolis are herebyinformed of that circumstance. The boat-owners by proceeding on thisroute, are necessitated to advance a small sum of immediate money, fortonnage, more than they do on the other route; to counterbalance that, the boats are exempt from the wear and tear of passing through twelvelocks, and an extra day's expense; therefore, when both circumstancesare taken into consideration, the expenses cannot vary much eitherway, and to the London merchant one day is, at times, of the utmostimportance.
