Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal

The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal is a historic waterway in England, connecting the River Trent to the River Severn. Built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it facilitated the transport of goods during the Industrial Revolution, reducing reliance on roads and horse-drawn carriages. The canal measures approximately 36 miles and features locks and aqueducts to navigate changes in elevation. Today, it serves mainly for leisure activities like boating, walking, and wildlife observation, while remaining an important example of early industrial infrastructure and engineering.
