Has anybody got any good sources of photographs of Canal Side (especially Park Lane) in mid to late 1800's?

I am especaiily interested in any boat building realated industries.

Canal side? Was that from the Whimsey Bridge to Seven Stars Road along "the cut"?
Seven Stars Road from Oldbury Low Town led into Park Lane. I think.I've only just got up but off the top of my head and without googling!! :roll:
