Comment on Droitwich Canal by LewisRK

I cycled the entire length of the Droitwich canals Saturday (& walked back with a dead bike!) I have read quite a bit about the canalised section of teh River Salwarper to join the Junction with the Barge canal. Were these two ever linked in the past? What became of the previous link of it was? Did it get built on e.g. Was it the small industrial unit adjacent to the road?

As I said in the email: “Working on it – one man band – breath holding no recommended”

At the time I did the map, most of it didn’t exist anymore. Some bits are being restored, but i’m not sure on progress.

Does this mean that the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal system is out of commission as far as boat navigation is concerned? Because it is all green. Maybe the list should be divided into navigable and none navigable (good for fishing, walking and picknics only) waterways.

Hello Tony, I sent you an email with some sugestions but on viewing the Home page found The Whole Map which answeres one of my requests partially. It shows all the canals. Problem still remains that when studying one canal map there is no indication if or where other canals/rivers, intersect so we can consider gong in another direction. We still need to go back to the “whole map” to see if another tranquil laneway beckons. A simple icon with the name of the intersecting waterway would suffice.

On the appropriate page, in the comments, say what needs changing and i’ll sort it out sooner or later.
