Hanbury Junction 
Hanbury Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Junction Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. The 5 mile section between Boggin and Westbury was closed in 1955 after a breach at Ambersford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Henry Hunter.
Early plans for the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Exeter and Guildford were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Hunter was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Bolton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Longbury to Polechester. Expectations for coal traffic to Doncaster never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) was closed in 1888 when Southstone Tunnel collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Wright painted a mural of Slough Cutting on the side of Peter Edwards's house for a bet.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Room for two boats just north of the junction.

The pub has an restaurant extension overlooking the canal, not very pretty, but the meals are OK so it will be very popular indeed when the nearby Droitwich Junction Canal is reopened during 2011.[[[2238637]]] by Roger D Kidd – 22 August 2010](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/23/86/2238641_2652b7b6_120x120.jpg)
