At Old Turn Junction, where the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal meets the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line Canal. The island was installed during World War II, to allow the use of temporary dams to protect the railway tunnel beneath it, should the canal be breached by bombing. The north tunnel of the Stour Valley railway line (main western approach to New Street Station) runs a few yards north east of the junction, under the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.
