The Hatherton Canal near Calf Heath in Staffordshire
This is the canal above Lock No 2 east of Hatherton Junction.
The Hatherton Canal was opened in 1841, and extended in 1863. It remained in use for carrying coal until 1949 and was formally abandoned in 1955. It is not navigable above this lock but remains as a feeder to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Hatherton Junction three hundred metres west-south-west. Restoration is planned, but re-opening is many years away. http://www.lhcrt.org.uk/ http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/hatherton-branch-canal.html

The Hatherton Branch Canal at Calf Heath, Staffordshire
This derelict canal is now only used as a feeder into the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Behind the camera are the two Calf Heath Locks, a basin occupied as part of the Calf Heath Marina, and Phil Jones's boatyard.
Opened in 1841, and extended in 1863, the canal remained in use for carrying coal until 1949. It was formally abandoned in 1955. It is not navigable above this lock. Restoration is planned, but re-opening is many years away. http://www.lhcrt.org.uk/ http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/hatherton-branch-canal.html

Off to the left, Lock No 2 was widened and a shelf built to use as a dry dock by the nearby boatyard. The image shows the top lock gate, in a dilapidated state.
