The Droitwich Junction Canal will be opened on 1 July 2011. Therefore, water supply to the Droitwich Barge Canal will be enhanced to enable it to operate fully.
This will complete the Mid Worcester Ring for navigation.
Pictured is the Droitwich Junction Canal – superb new locks like this blend well with rural scenery.
Hi Victor, thanks for your comment.
You must know more of the details of the opening festival than I. I can’t seem to find any! . Please leave a further comment with any details or links you have on The Blog post on this – Click http://canalscene.com/droitwich-canals-opening-festival-1-3-july/
to get there.
I hope to spot and meet you there although it will be the Sunday afternoon when I arrive as I have previously booked a holiday containing that weekend. Geoff
Fantastic news the reopening, i am moored outside Stourport Marina so it will be great to get off the River Severn on occasions. I hope to be the first Widebeam 55ft “Salvation” to go up the Barge Canal, I have sent off my application form with my 15 quid so hope it gets accepted, my wife and i are really looking forward to the Festival Rally and the celebrations.
No trackbacks yet.
