Further east, there are two more aqueducts (Spouthouse Lane and Piercy, the latter over the Old Walsall Road), and a deep cutting in 200-million-year-old sandstone, under Freeth Bridge (now restricted to pedestrians and bikes only) at Tower Hill.

There are no locks on this section, which is at the Walsall Level, but it passes over eight aqueducts within five miles (seven of which are original).

In the adjacent Perry Park, after lock 7 and near Alexander Stadium, is Perry Reservoir[a], a 27,300 m3 (35,700 cu yd) feeder reservoir completed in 1880[2] and fed by Holbrook, a tributary of the Tame that rises near Barr Beacon.

Between locks nine and ten is the site of Perry Barr Wharf, extant in the 1950s but now filled in.

[4] The resident engineer was Mr. Horne, the contractors were Treadwell, Jackson and Bean for the principal part of the works, and Mr. Townshend for the portion near Tipton.
