Hatherton Canal, near Wedges Mills, Staffordshire
The water is barely a trickle here, as a couple of hundred metres eastward it has been filled in. Extensive vegetation is growing on the silted up canal because the lock 400 metres westwards has no gates so the pound has drained; it should be up to about a metre deeper. Restoration of this canal, and the Lichfield Canal will allow navigation again between the Staffordshire and Worcestershire and Coventry Canals. See http://www.lhcrt.org.uk
