  • Cover photo description:
  • Tardebigge Engine House is the former canal-pumping station on this section of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. It originally housed a steam powered Newcomen-Watt engine to pump water up from the adjacent Tardebigge feeder reservoir to the canal’s top pound, a height difference of some 50 feet or 15.2 metres. The engine was removed in 1915 and the building is now a private residence and grade II listed. nnTardebigge section of the canal has 30 single locks in just over two miles. This raises the waterway 220 ft or 67 metres and makes it the longest flight in the country and one of the largest in Europe.
