Stourbridge


The locks at Stourbridge, a few miles west of Birmingham. There are 16 locks dropping from Leys Junction to Wordsley Junction.

The large structure is the 90 ft high Redhouse Cone, part of a former glass works, now part of a museum site. It is one of only 4 such cones remaining in the UK.

See Google Aerial View of this location.

I haven't seen these locks for years not since i went through them. Ex of Cradley Heath, now in the Isle of Man, we have no canals( or motorways come to that)and nostlagia threw up your blog.
