The Droitwich Canal is a synthesis of two canals in Worcestershire England; the Droitwich Barge Canal and the Droitwich Junction Canal. The Barge Canal is a broad canal which opened in 1771 linking Droitwich Spa to the River Severn at Hawford Mill Claines. The Droitwich Junction Canal is a narrow canal opened in 1854 which linked Droitwich to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Both were built to carry salt and were abandoned in 1939.
