Blackpole Narrows

 
Stanford Marsh, Buckholt Drive, Worcester WR4 9ND, United Kingdom
 

Blackpole Narrows is on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) a few kilometres from Cheltenham.

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.
