Distance
1
River Salwarpe
Viewed from the footbridge. This part of the river is not required for incorporation into the restored Droitwich Junction Canal, so presumably will be left much as it is now. On the right is the waterside walkway, which runs alongside for quite a distance.

River Salwarpe
The footbridge across the river can be seen ahead, and behind the trees modern houses in Impney Way can be glimpsed. Behind them is the M5 motorway.

Footbridge over the River Salwarpe
This bridge provides a link between two modern housing estates. It clearly predates them and seems to have originally provided a vehicular access. Today, however, it is a footbridge only.

River Salwarpe
The river here is running between two modern housing estates. The restored Droitwich Junction Canal will not run along here, so this section of the river will not be canalised.

Bridge over the River Salwarpe
This rather crude concrete bridge is of a vintage that predates the recent housing estates on either side and was presumably an "accommodation" bridge for a local farmer or similar. It is now barred to vehicular traffic but provides a convenient link between the two new estates on either side. I found this while exploring the new canal re-instatement works in the area.

Droitwich Junction Canal, Worcestershire entering Droitwich
The restored canal is almost ready to reopen (scheduled now for 2011) after being abandoned in 1939. Passage through from Hanbury Junction to Hawbury via the already re-opened Droitwich Barge Canal will become commonplace for the first time since 1918.
The Waterscape website states this: "When the Junction Canal opens to navigation, it will complete a new 22-mile continuous cruising ring, which takes in the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, the upper reaches of the Severn Navigation and the newly refurbished Droitwich Barge Canal."
There will much queuing for the locks this summer if it happens by then. Oh, and at the time of this image there was no passage through along the towpath.
Update .... the towpath will be the other side; this isn't it. That's why!! Twit!
