The famous Clock Warehouse which strikes the quarter hour in Brindleys upper basin which is now used by the Stourport Yacht club
We have now finished our travels down the Staffs & Worcs and are now moored above York Street lock where I have an excellent 3g signal. Stourport is an inland harbour on the River Severn with very large motor cruisers in the basins. Its a very picturesque canal expecially around Kinver although 200 years ago it was a hive of activity with huge iron works of which only a few remnants remain.
Totals to day 64 Wednesday are now
Memorable events still only 11
Cappuccinos to date still only 14- nothing to add for either Kinver or Stourport - here's to Worcester.
Lift bridges 27, locks 217 and 394 miles.
The river looks like a pussy cat today so hopefully we shall run down to Worcester tomorrow morning and spend a few days in a marina to explore the area before starting our trip up the Worcs & B'ham canal which includes the Tardebigge flight of 36 narrow locks in 4 miles!!!!!!
The narrow staircase locks that we will need to go down to enter the Severn from the Clock basin tomorrow.
