This is a Jolly Good place on the Shropshire Union Canal because the waterway has just left Wolverhampton at Pendeford, and entered Staffordshire, en route for Brewood and Market Drayton. Looking north-west from Droveway Bridge, No 3A. Pendeford Wood is off to the right (aka Pendeford Public Nature Walk). Braidbar Boats in Cheshire build some of the finest narrowboats available, and have recently passed 200. The 60 feet long Jolly Good was runner up for the Crick Boat Show 2019 favourite narrowboat award. https://www.braidbarboats.co.uk/
