Where are we?

In case you wondered.

Signs of varying vintage, the one on the left dates from when the canal was owned by the Great Western Railway.

Welcome to England

The English-Welsh border passes through the centre of Chirk aqueduct, on this side you are in England.

Here we are

In case you wonder which waterway it is.

Boaters passing under the LMS Railway Bridge need to heed this.

Directional help at Stratford.

University

We are now at Birmingham University, hence the sign at this mooring.
