Droitwich Barge Canal
From Graces Guide
1771 The Droitwich Barge Canal was a broad canal which opened in 1771 linking Droitwich Spa to the River Severn at Hawford Mill, Claines. It was built to carry salt.
The Droitwich Canal was a synthesis of two canals in Worcestershire: the Droitwich Barge Canal and the Droitwich Junction Canal.
1939 Both canals were abandoned.
They have been the subject of a restoration plan since 1973, and the Barge Canal was officially reopened in 2010, while the Junction Canal reopened in July 2011.
