Roundhill Wharf
Roundhill Wharf is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton).
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).

![Carters Furniture, Caldwell Mill, Tram Street, Kidderminster. Carters Furniture is a family run furniture and leather superstore. It is based in the former Caldwell (or Caldwall) Mill, at the end of Tram Street, off New Road. Established about 30 years ago, the company's premises are tucked between the River Stour and the Staffs & Worcs Canal. The housing which can be seen on the right, is part of the Round Hill Wharf development, which is on the other side of the canal.[[2328317]]. by P L Chadwick – 27 February 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/33/35/2333535_3aeef348_120x120.jpg)






![Electricity substation (3), Tram Street, Kidderminster. Another view of the electricity substation, although not a great deal can be seen because of the heavy security fencing. The approach by a bridge over the River Stour, seen in the foreground, used to carry tram rails to the now demolished depot. Looking at old photographs the bridge would seem to be the original, so there may well be tram rails still here but covered by the modern surface.

![Gate to Caldwall Mill Bridge from Round Hill Wharf, Kidderminster. The public footpath from Park Lane across the Round Hill Wharf residential development, leaves the development via this gate. It then crosses the Staffs & Worcs Canal by Caldwall Mill Bridge, seen here behind the gate. It then joins the canal towpath. A further path off the towpath leads to New Road via Tram Street.[[2288413]]. by P L Chadwick – 27 February 2011](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/28/86/2288634_f8153dcb_120x120.jpg)
![Gate from Caldwall Mill Bridge to Round Hill Wharf, Kidderminster. The public footpath, connecting the Staffs & Worcs Canal towpath to Park Lane, passes through this gate, then continues ahead in a straight line through a further gate, and out onto Park Lane. The roads on the Round Hill Wharf residential development are private, and the owners don't want the general public wandering around apparently, as this notice makes clear:- [[2288395]].[[2288634]]. by P L Chadwick – 27 February 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/28/84/2288413_5836fdad_120x120.jpg)




![The Castle Inn, 50 Park Lane, Kidderminster. Another of Kidderminster's fascinating back street pubs, unfortunately partially obscured by motor vehicles which seem to be parked around here much of the day. The pub is named after the local Caldwell Castle, of which a large painting appears above the main entrance. Today only the octagonal tower remains.
