Linacre Bridge

An accommodation bridge that now seems to go across the Droitwich Barge Canal from nowhere very much to nowhere very much. There is also a large tree trunk in the roadway. It is, however, quite a pretty bridge. According to Max Sinclair - "This bridge is probably the last surviving untouched Brindley 1770 structure standing on elm tree abutments laid horizontal - cheaper than stone". An amazing fact and I'm grateful to Max for this.

Droitwich Barge Canal, lock No. 7

This is ruinous but clearance of the rampant undergrowth has commenced prior to its restoration, allegedly in 2009. Remains of lock gate and ground paddles can be seen. The chamber has lost a few courses at the top but the upstream cill looks reasonable.

Mildenham Mill

A no trespass picture. I wonder if the wheel and machinery survive here. This is powered by the Salwarpe and is one of three mills west of Droitwich. J Mader has contacted me to point out that part of the wheel is indeed visible in the photograph on the lower left side of the building under a brick ark and is probably a breastshot or undershot wheel. I'm grateful for that (I hadn't noticed).

This provides access to Mildenham Mill. Lock No. 6 is just on the upstream side.

Droitwich Barge Canal emerges from under the A449

The canal is culverted on a long oblique course under this major trunk road. This is going to be an expensive job and it's hard to see how there won't be some traffic disruption. They say the navigation will be restored in 2009 and there will then be a pleasant canal ring round Worcester using the Birmingham & Worcester, Droitwich Junction Canal, Droitwich Barge Canal and the River Severn.
