Droitwich Narrow Canal restoration

Initial site clearance work has started on the restoration of this length of the canal into Droitwich. Tree clearance has taken place now so as to avoid disturbance to nesting creatures later in the year. The canal originally continued to the left in to Droitwich parallel to the River Salwarpe. The restoration will see a lock constructed at this point and the canal will go into the River Salwarpe to pass under the bridge just visible behind the car in the picture and avoid buildings constructed on the old canal alignment.
