Lord Ward'S Arm

Lord Ward's Arm is an access point on the Dudley Canal in the West Midlands, England.

It sits along the Dudley Canal Line No 1 between the BCN Old Main Line and the entrance to Dudley Tunnel, placing it at a historically significant junction in the Black Country waterway network.

Associated with this arm is Lord Ward's Tunnel, a separate tunnel of 196 yards that is sometimes grouped with the main Dudley Tunnel but is technically a distinct structure.

The Dudley Tunnel complex — including the main tunnel, Lord Ward's Tunnel, and Castle Mill Basin — forms one of the longest canal tunnel systems on the UK network.
