Ashwood Marina near Kingswinford, Staffordshire The defunct "lostlabours.co.uk" webpage informs us that "In 1827 James Foster of 'John Bradley & Co', the Iron-masters from Stourbridge, and Lord Dudley, (The Fourth Viscount Dudley & Ward) agreed to build a railway from Ashwood Basin, on the Staffs & Worcs Canal, to Shut End on Pensnett Chase." The railway was more recently owned by the National Coal Board.

The Smestow River at Greensforge, Staffordshire The river is flowing south,towards the camera. It meets the River Stour about two miles away. Above the bank on the right, narrowboats moored on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal are just visible. Much work has been done on the Smestow Brook in recent years to reduce the frequency of its flooding. Apparently, the dredging work has increased the depth in places to four feet (1.25m) resulting in the brook's upgrading to "river" status, but map makers are not yet cognisant of this (everyone still calls it Smestow Brook anyway!). Of course, such work needs constant maintenance. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.roman-britain.org/places/greensforge.htm" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.roman-britain.org/places/greensforge.htm">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
