Canal Day 6: Kinver to Kidderminster

Caunsell Bridge successfully negotiated.



The impressive stretch of canal by the Austcliffe Rock.



Just after Austcliffe Rock there are several Holiday Homes with a Railway Signal - this is a stretch of the canal I have often walked but not seen from the Canal before.

Lunch at The Lock, Woverley after a busy morning. For the first time we had to queue at some locks.



In the lock at The Lock, Wolverly



Woverley Court Lock.



The split iron Bridge at Wolverly Court Lock.



St Mary & All Saints in Kidderminster ; with a tower dating back to the 15th centtury, this is the largest Parish Church in Worcestershire. My old school, King Charles I Grammer School was founded in the Church in. Founders Day Services are still held every year.




Kidderminster in Bloom: the roundabout in front of the Post Office with Baxter Church in the background.



And now for two less than attrative photographs. First, the ugliest building in Kidderminster - the tower block over the Post Office.

Last lock of the day at Falling Sands between Kidderminster and Stourport
