The Birmingham and Worcester Canal links the two great cities into a the water transport network via a great flight of locks at Tardebigge near Bromsgrove. Two days over Christmas I rambled around Tardebigge and Worcester, the slideshow below shows what I saw. If you point your cursor at it then labels appear and if you click them you go to the desired photograph with a map and notes.
The River Severn used to be tidal up to Worcester, making this place both a great place to cross the river and also a good place for river craft to get to. The historical forces of the landscape on people, as well as the forces people have had on the landscape, are profound and operate on a scale it is difficult to imagine
