About Gas Street Basin

Gas Street Basin, right in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, is like an oasis, with brightly-coloured narrow-boats surrounded by listed buildings against a backdrop of modern high-rise offices. The area has been transformed into a centre for leisure and entertainment. In 1973, the basin featured prominently in the Cliff Richard film Take Me High. A canal-side cottage there was used as the home of a character in the long-running soap opera Crossroads.
