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.

Droitwich Junction Canal - lock No. 1 The first of seven on this short canal. The first three are in a short distance and are the only original locks left. The other four are modern locks. These three have water-saving side pounds and the two sluices for lock No. 1 are seen to its right. These are still in use and a note on the gate instructs users to use the side paddles first.

Droitwich Junction Canal - sign by lock No. 3 The top three locks have working side pounds (or ponds) and boaters are instructed to operate these sluices first. The side pounds save water that in this case is approximately worth half a lock full. 

Some locks, such as those at Knowle on the Grand Union had two side pounds and could save about 2/3rds of a lock full.
