Droitwich Spa Marina - Basin dig nearly finished
Filmed in mid-October 2011, the basin of the Droitwich Spa Marina is nearly finished. The entrance structure is about 35% complete, and around half of the jetties are installed. No sign yet of the facilities building - probably that will start when the earthworks are complete at about the end of October. |

A stretch of canal that's been closed since before the Second World War is to open again to boat traffic. After decades of campaigning and at a cost of twelve million pounds the Droitwich Canal has been fully restored. Bob Hockenhull reports. |
Droitwich Spa Marina was featured on the primetime BBC Countryfile programme on the 7th August 2011, watched by 7.1 million viewers.
