Old Walsall canal museum to be auctioned off
An historic former canal museum, which has stood empty for more than 10 years, is to go under the hammer.
The grade II-listed former museum in Old Birchills, has fallen into a state of disrepair over the years. It also has an old lock keeper's cottage.
It is poised to go under the hammer for between £90,000 and £98,000 at the auction at Villa Park on February 25. The canal museum closed in 2003.
The description of the building states: "The former museum is two storey, the lock cottage is single storey and has recently been refurbished to a high standard, for use as a single dwelling, whereas the museum building is in need of repair and improvement."
It adds there are plans to redevelop the ex-museum into a residential development comprising two separate units.
