Droitwich Spa Marina is an notable flight of locks on the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Junction Canal).
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.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).

![Droitwich Junction Canal below Hanbury Locks, Worcestershire. The original course of the canal was alongside Hanbury Road off to the left of this image. As the route had been filled in for much of its course towards Droitwich, and built over in some places, a new cut, bending round to the north-west was made here. This is not yet shown on available satellite images. The bridge is the new one carrying the road to the rugby club.This section of the canal is not yet kept fully watered.[[1056230]][[1125405]][[1174992]] by Roger D Kidd – 22 August 2010](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/22/95/2229505_8911e0a5_120x120.jpg)

![New bridge over new canal near Droitwich, Worcestershire. This is Bridge No 2 on the Droitwich Junction Canal. It is a new bridge on a newly cut section of canal (2008-2009) which was needed because the old line had been partly filled in and built over since its abandonment in 1939. The bridge carries the private road leading to Droitwich Rugby Football Club. The canal is not yet fully watered, as some excavation nearer Droitwich still needs to be done.The last boat boat to navigate the Droitwich Junction Canal did so in 1928. The new cut, and the building or restoration of locks is scheduled to allow navigation to resume, all the way to the River Severn, in 2011.See also [[1056230]] by Roger D Kidd – 22 August 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/23/01/2230196_5bb111c2_120x120.jpg)
