Canal View, Tipton

[AlanBoyd]

On this 25 inch map 1938/1947, notice how Canal View (not labelled) is just to the west of a canal basin that is at the end of a canal labelled as 'Dixon's Branch", running off the map to the NE. Also note that there is another long narrow basin running off from the Dixon's Branch, and located across the main canal and railway to the NE of Canal View.

Now go here:

and scroll down to the 6th image, an aerial photo captioned "Dixon's Junction and Station St Bridge...".  The railway and main canal run from the bottom middle of the photo diagonally to the left. You can make out the long narrow basin and on the other side of the main canal, to the left of the photo a row of houses lit up by the sun and parallel to the canal: Canal View.

her son William commented that Sophia had been visiting a woman (sur)named Norman "near the reservoir" and I had found a household of two sisters (Hannah and Jane Norman) living at 19 Canal View in the 1911 census summaries.

Perhaps ‘the reservoir’ was the local name for the terminal basin?

An addendum to reply #9: I’m not sure about this but at the link to captainahabswaterytales, scroll much further down to an image captioned: "Stanked off Dixon's Branch..." I can't interpret the caption but note that there is a footbridge marked on maps across the entrance to the terminal basin. If this is that bridge then the houses just beyond are Canal View.
