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.
