Stratford-upon-Avon Canal

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal is a canal in the south Midlands of England. It is joined to the Warwickshire Avon at Stratford-upon-Avon. At the other end the canal connects with the Worcester and Birmingham Canal[?] at Kings Norton Junction. Part of the way along the canal's length there is a connection to the Grand Union Canal at Lapworth.

By the late 1940s the canal had become completely derelict. The later restoration by voluntary effort was a turning point for the waterways movement in Britain.
