Staffordshire And Worcestershire Canal

The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal is a canal in the Midlands of England, passing through Staffordshire and Worcestershire. It runs 46 miles from the River Severn at Stourport in Worcestershire to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood. The canal was opened in 1772, built by engineer James Brindley as part of his Grand Cross plan for waterways connecting Hull, Liverpool and Bristol. In 1959 the canal was planned to be closed, but was saved through the efforts of a volunteer group - the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Society.
