LIVE RAW UNCUT AS IT HAPPENED (if you discount the fact that the bit between Lock No 52 and Wilmcote Bottom Lock was recorded late one May evening in 2005 with the setting sun showing up all the crap on the lens and the rest of it was recorded on a glorious September morning in 2006)

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal is a canal in the south Midlands of England. Stratford upon Avon Canal , which was built between 1793 and 1816, runs for 25.5 miles in total, and consists of two sections.
The dividing line is at Kingswood Junction, which gives access to the Grand Union Canal. Following acquisition by a railway company in 1856, it gradually declined, the southern section being un-navigable by 1945, and the northern section little better.
The northern section of Stratford upon Avon Canal was the setting for a high-profile campaign by the fledgling Inland Waterways Association in 1947, involving the right of navigation under Tunnel Lane bridge, which required the Great Western Railway to jack it up in order to allow boats to pass. These actions saved the section from closure. The southern section was restored by the National Trust between 1961 and 1964, after an attempt to close it was thwarted. The revived canal was re-opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and responsibility for it was transferred to British Waterways in 1988.
The Stratford-upon-Avon canal connects the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Kings Norton to the River Avon at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. It consists of two sections, divided by a junction which connects it to the Grand Union Canal. The northern section from Kings Norton in the suburbs of Birmingham to Lapworth is level for the first 10.8 miles (17.4 km), following the 453-foot (138 m) Birmingham Level, but then descends quite rapidly through the Lapworth flight of 18 locks, to reach the junction.
