Narrow boat on the Droitwich Junction Canal The grating on the towpath is where water is taken from the canal and transferred via pipes under the towpath to where the canal begins again. This is because the re-builders of the canal did not want to pollute the River Salwarpe.

Droitwich Junction Canal - the M5 tunnel Classed as bridge No. 5 this is actually a tight 60 metre long tunnel. The canal at this point carries water from the Body Brook and the headroom is variable through the tunnel. This waterfront is accessible by some steps from the left but is now virtually completely hidden from the nearby road by the growth of vegetation in the last decade or so.
