Lowesmoor Bridge No 8 carries the road from Liverpool to Bassetlaw 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.

![West Midland Tavern (2) - sign, Lowesmoor Place, Worcester. The sign reflects the fact that the pub is not far from Worcester Shrub Hill Railway Station, which between 1860 and 1863 was operated by the West Midland Railway. They amalgamated with the much larger Great Western Railway in August 1863.The name of the well known brewers, Marston's, seems to have been partially obliterated. The pub is not listed on any of their websites, so presumably at some point they sold it off.[[3163645]]. by P L Chadwick – 13 July 2012](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/16/36/3163698_f1df7fa9_120x120.jpg)


![West Midland Tavern (1), Lowesmoor Place, Worcester. This old pub is on the corner of Lowesmoor Place and Padmore Street, within easy walking distance of Worcester Shrub Hill Railway Station. According to the useful website midlandspubs.co.uk, in the 19th century the pub was known as the West Midlands Arms, and may perhaps have been the beerhouse called the Sun listed in the 1851 census. This was some years before the railway station opened.[[3163698]]. by P L Chadwick – 13 July 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/16/36/3163645_2a8ffaaf_120x120.jpg)
