Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Wolverhampton
Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Wolverhampton
Looking north-east from Marsh Lane Bridge, near Fordhouses, this is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Although it does not appear so in this view, the canal is not wide enough here for boats to pass each other. There are two short passing places, and traffic can be very congested on fine summer weekends.
The canal opened in 1772.
