Canal and new building in Kidderminster, Worcestershire
Looking north-east by the new development site on the right where Clensmore Mills used to be. The canal embankment is in the process of being turfed, then planted with trees and shrubs to stabilise the soil and mitigate against erosion.

Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Kidderminster, Worcestershire
Looking north-east towards Stourvale New Bridge, No 18. There was originally a footbridge there which served the (nationalised) Stour Vale Iron Works, which closed in April 1962 (?), off to the left.

Canalside apartments near Kidderminster in Worcestershire
This is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at the northern fringe of Kidderminster. On the former Stourvale Iron Works site, the housing, dating from c2007(?) is built around Alder Avenue and Ox Bow Way. The names certainly suggests it has been developed near what was flood prone or potentially wet land. A flood prevention embankment is now in place to control water encroaching from the Stourvale Wetland by the River Stour (off to the left).
