Canalside buildings, Gailey

At Gailey, Thomas Telford's Holyhead Road passes over James Brindley's Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. The tower house marks the top lock of the Gailey flight of locks, in which the canal begins its descent to the valley of the Trent.

Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal

The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal was opened in 1772, engineered by James Brindley. It cost a little over £100,000 at the time. It links the River Severn at Stourport to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood Junction in Staffordshire. There are 43 locks (45 if you don't fancy the deep wide locks at Stourport) and the canal is 46 miles in length.
