The canal was opened in 1772 having been engineered by James Brindley. In these days of cruising and leisure boating, the 46 miles length with its 43 locks (45 if you take the narrow options at Stourport) is one of the most attractive and popular canals in England. We dodged that rain cloud very successfully.
