Now sadly retired and without her plant. She was in full cry when this photo was taken and we were just waiting for a boat ride across to her.

Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn

This is part of Nelson Road. On the left, behind the metal railings, is Stourport Marina. SO8169 : Entrance to Stourport Marina, Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn. Apart from giving access to the marina, Nelson Road serves as one of the main roads through a dreary industrial estate, near the River Severn, and tucked well away from the main part of the town. There is little point in coming down here unless you have specific business with one of the firms based on the estate.

Start of private road to Lincomb Lock on the River Severn

At the end of Nelson Road, on the Sandy Lane Industrial Estate, this private road commences and gives authorised vehicles access to Lincomb Lock. The lock is the highest on the River Severn; the official head of navigation being just upstream of Stourport Bridge.

Stourport Marina Clubhouse, Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn

The Marina's Clubhouse and restaurant is open to visitors as well as members, and is licensed. The signs proclaim the lunchtime Sunday Carvery, but you would have to know this place exists, as "passing trade" would be virtually non-existent. These premises are right at the far end of the Sandy Lane Industrial Estate. Another entrance to the marina itself is at: SO8169 : Entrance to Stourport Marina, Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn.
