A Historical Gem:
Glasswater Locks resides alongside the Digbeth Branch Canal, a site of historical significance. Archaeological excavations unveiled remnants of a Boulton & Watt steam engine and kilns from the Belmont Glassworks, active on the site since 1803.
Glassmaking was a major industry in Birmingham in the 1800s, and glassworks were strategically located along waterways. With the arrival of railways in the mid-1800s, a rail terminal was established at nearby Curzon Street, setting the stage for Birmingham's bright, connected future.

Glasswater Locks introduces outdoor seating areas and new walkways along the canal towpath, making it an accessible and vibrant destination for the community.
The development prioritizes creating a pedestrianized, car-free environment and enhancing public spaces around Glasswater Locks, focusing on well-being and environmental quality.

The area will host cafés, bars, and restaurants offering alfresco dining options. Public art, interactive water features, and space for outdoor events will create a carefully landscaped and diverse neighborhood catering to everyone.
Residents can relish tranquil views over the canal from elevated, resident-only courtyard gardens.
