Limekiln Bridge No 17
Limekiln Bridge No 17 carries a footpath over 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.

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

![Limekiln Bridge, Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal. The canal at this point passes the Royal Mail's Kidderminster Sorting Office on the left. The condition of Limekiln Bridge has not improved since it was photographed for this site over 3 years earlier. Like so many parts of Kidderminster it looks run down and neglected. The building on the right houses Veldorna Printers Ltd. It too would benefit greatly from a fresh coat of paint. It used to be a public house known as the Navigation.[[2767056]]. by P L Chadwick – 06 September 2008](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/95/34/953477_5fb747d4_120x120.jpg)

It was a Banks's Brewery house. In times past it no doubt received a lot of trade from canal users and from the two nearby carpet factories (both now closed). The later buildings, at the side, were built after the change of use.[[2767000]]. by P L Chadwick – 15 January 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/76/70/2767056_a1e8e614_120x120.jpg)
