Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal - Pendeford Rockin'

The Autherley Narrows are,according to Pearson's, the most significant feature of this length is "Pendeford Rockin'" the old boatman's name for a shallow, but tellingly narrow cutting hewn by Brindley's navies through a solid belt of sandstone which breaks through the clay strata at this point. The cutting, half a mile or so long, restricts the channel to such a degree that you begin to wonder if you have taken a wrong turn. There are two passing places along the length and we were extremely pleased that we didn't have to use them.
