Claverdon Narrows
Address is taken from a point 1772 yards away.
Claverdon Narrows carries a farm track over the Stratford-on-Avon Canal (Southern Section).
The Act of Parliament for the Stratford-on-Avon Canal (Southern Section) was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeen were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Nantwich kept it open. The one mile section between Port Talbot and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wrexham. In his autobiography Peter Smith writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

This is the site of a bridge, the canal may be narrow as a consequence.

![Canal narrows, between locks 33 and 32. On the Stratford upon Avon Canal, south of Lowsonford. A canal bridge is shown here on the large-scale OS map surveyed in 1886, at the exact point [then and now] where a public footpath from Yarningale Common meets the canal towpath. An old barn [[8195741]] is also close by on the non-towpath side of the canal. by Christine Johnstone – 12 June 2025](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/08/19/57/8195748_fd4a3374_120x120.jpg)
