Hanbury Bridge No 35 carries a farm track over the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction).
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.

There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

![The Eagle and Sun east of Droitwich, Worcestershire. On the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. 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)




![Eagle & Sun (1), Hanbury Road, Hanbury Wharf. The pub overlooks the Worcester & Birmingham Canal, and the newly re-opened Droitwich Junction Canal is nearby. The pub is probably around 200 years old, and had a new conservatory extension in 2004, which overlooks the Worcester & Birmingham Canal. The pub is mainly food focused, and very popular with people using the canals.[[2547196]].[[2547216]]. by P L Chadwick – 31 July 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/54/71/2547173_d66a1f39_120x120.jpg)

![Eagle & Sun (2) - sign, Hanbury Road, Hanbury Wharf. In many cultures the eagle is a symbol of the sun. Here the two are together. This is a very nice sign, but why the pub was given this name isn't known to me.[[2547173]].[[2547216]]. by P L Chadwick – 31 July 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/54/71/2547196_f3af5d53_120x120.jpg)
