Summary

[edit]
Description

There is pair of railway bridges that cross the Droitwich Canal.


The first railway bridge - the Droitwich Spa Railway Bridge No 1, goes over the Netherwich Canal Tunnel. The railway it carries is the Worcester to Birmingham via Bromsgrove line.


The Droitwich Canal is a synthesis of two canals in Worcestershire, England; the Droitwich Barge Canal and the Droitwich Junction Canal. The Barge Canal is a broad canal which opened in 1771 linking Droitwich Spa to the River Severn at Hawford Mill, Claines. The Droitwich Junction Canal is a narrow canal, opened in 1854, which linked Droitwich to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Both were built to carry salt, and were abandoned in 1939. They have been the subject of a restoration plan since 1973, and the Barge Canal was officially reopened in 2010, while the Junction Canal reopened in July 2011. Following the opening of the canal, ownership transferred to the newly created Canal and River Trust
