BCN 24h Marathon Challenge 2015: Chillington Wharf Railway interchange basin at Bilston Road on the BCN Main Line.
"This is now the best example of an interchange basin on the BCN. The basin, shed and railway tracks are in good condition and form part of the Wolverhampton Steel Terminal. Transhipments still occur here, using the crane on the left of the basin, but now steel is transferred from rail to road rather than to canal. Chillingtom Wharf is of historical interest and must be a prime candidate for preservation" (Birmingham Canal Navigations, 1984).
