The canal network
Narrow canals converge on Gas Street Basin and spread outward in long, gently curving lines, a reminder of the waterways that powered Birmingham's industrial growth.

The map
About this Birmingham map poster
Birmingham grew up on water and industry, and the map still shows both. A network of canals runs through the city, meeting at Gas Street Basin and fanning out toward the Black Country. The city is often said to have more miles of canal than Venice, and on a poster these lines weave quietly between streets, railways and old factory yards.
Around the centre, the Middleway ring road draws a loose loop, with the Jewellery Quarter to the northwest and the Bullring to the south. Further out, the Gravelly Hill Interchange, known to everyone as Spaghetti Junction, knots the M6 into one of the most famous road tangles in Britain, a striking shape in black line.
To the southwest, the University of Birmingham campus sits around Chancellor's Court and its tall clock tower. A Birmingham map poster brings these layers together: Victorian terraces, postwar ring roads, canal towpaths and green parks such as Cannon Hill, all at a single scale.

Spaghetti Junction
The Gravelly Hill Interchange on the M6 loops and overlaps into an unmistakable knot of roads northeast of the centre, instantly recognisable even at poster scale.
Jewellery Quarter
Northwest of the centre, a tight grid of small streets marks the historic Jewellery Quarter, still home to hundreds of workshops and a dense, fine-textured pattern on the map.
