Return to Rugeley

This week's theme is another look at the Trent & Mersey Canal in Rugeley.

Back water

The Wednesbury Oak Loop is a rather quiet stretch of waterway, mostly because it no longer really goes anywhere.

Main line crosses main line

Two main lines cross here, the West Coast Main Line railway and the Birmingham Main Line canal.
