Donnington Wood Canal
This watercourse was once the Donnington Wood canal. It was the first canal to be built in Shropshire. Built between 1765 and 1767, it ran from the mines and iron works of Donnington Wood to the terminus at Pave Lane. The terminus was on the main route from Liverpool to London, now the A41.

A bridge over the Donnington Wood Canal
The bridge from which Image was taken. It's one of the few remaining visible signs of the former Donnington Wood Canal, which was built in the 1760s to carry coal from mines at Donnington Wood to a road-side wharf near here at Pave Lane. Most of the main canal has succumbed to agricultural changes or subsequent landscaping and industrial developments, but a number of other branches of the canal are more evident, particularly around Lilleshall Image

Donnington Wood canal and a pool
One of the few places where there's much visible remnant of the Donnington Wood canal - the water course in the bottom right of this shot. It was built to carry coal from the mines at Donnington Wood to a roadside wharf at Pave Lane. The large pool to the left is rapidly infilling with reeds and other vegetation.
