Bridge over one of the 16 locks at Stourbridge canal. It's got a gap in it! I've been told that this goes back to the days when narrowboats were drawn by horses, and the gap was for the rope to pass through.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:37:01 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam) Pam http://www.fotothing.com/Pam/photo/f11c9b8009258ee8a7144e7bc351d260/
The locks at Stourbridge with the Red House Glass Cone museum in the distance and beyond that the nearby hills.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:37:01 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam) Pam http://www.fotothing.com/Pam/photo/743d2bf9d111f2404c69fd40964fb904/
Canal and bridge, Stourbridge, England, August 2008. In the background is the brick cone which featured in the glassmaking industry of earlier years. Nowadays it's a fascinating museum.]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:31:56 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam) Pam http://www.fotothing.com/Pam/photo/2153b5bf331aae99c21670a745c44e35/

A narrowboat emerges from one of the sixteen locks on this stretch of the Stourbridge Canal.

Locks are an amazing invention to enable these big boats to go up and down hills! ]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:31:56 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam)

Canalside shopping for narrowboat users and wanderers along the towpath! This lovely white building is not just a house; there's a little general store there, with all the things a self-respecting canal user might need. The ice-creams are lovely!

Gorgeous display of hanging baskets full of flowers - the shop owner assured us that they aren't as good this year as they should be!

That ole steam engine skillfully pulling those ole railway carriages from the station, under the bridge, past the old suitcases, trunks and milk churns, taking us on a journey from the past.

Wonderful!]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:30:13 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam)

Bewdley in Worcestershire, as seen from the steam train. Bewdley is a picturesque little old town, very close to the River Severn. It has been flooded loads of times, but now barriers have been erected to try to prevent further damage. ]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:30:13 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Pam) Pam
