Here is where the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal (built in stages c1793-1815) meets the earlier Worcester and Birmingham Canal (built in stages c1791-1815). The Grade II Listed 1796 building at the junction was the first office of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal Company and doubled as a toll house. A commemorative board listing some mileages and tolls now shows above the door. In the image, Worcester is ahead, and Birmingham is behind the camera. Warwick and Stratford off to the left.
