The 46 mile Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal was completed in 1771, linking the Trent and Mersey Canal at Heywood Junction in Staffordshire with Stourport in Worcestershire.[1]
The canal was the used for transporting coal to Stourport Power Station before the branch from Stourport Station was built in 1940.
The canal and the River Stour can be seen from the train as they pass under Falling Sands Viaduct in Kidderminster
