Summary

Description

A short walk along a stretch of the Trent & Mersey Canal in Rugeley, Staffordshire.

I got on at The Mossley (near Armitage Road) and got of halfway up Love Lane heading towards Leathermill Lane.


James Brindley was the engineer of the Trent and Mersey Canal. It was planned in 1765 and fully opened by 1777.
