Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In January and February 2003 Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit carried out documentary assessment and building recording of a number of historic canal structures within the Warwick Bar Conservation Area, Digbeth, Birmingham. The work was commissioned by British Waterways through the Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) and was undertaken in advance of a scheme of repair and refurbishment of this historic stretch of urban industrial canal. Two sections of canal wall and features were investigated along the Digbeth Branch Canal south of the Curzon Street canal bridge and in the vicinity of the Gun Barrel Proof House. Several structural phases were identified, ranging in date from the late 18th to 20th centuries. Moreover, sections of walling could be identified as survivals of former structures, including engine houses, interchange docks and wharves. An external inspection was made of 176-182 Fazeley Street, thought to have been associated with the former gas works that occupied the site between c.1836 and 1874. Two properties, 180-182, were found to be contemporary with the gas works and comprised a former dwelling house and offices, whereas the other buildings, 176-178, post-dated the gas works. Inspection of the Corporation Wharf on the Birmingham and Warwick Canal revealed that while most of the above-ground features associated with a night-soil processing plant had almost entirely disappeared, there was considerable potential for below-ground survival.
