Rumer Hill Junction

Rumer Hill Junction

Rumer Hill Junction (gbmapping|SJ991090) was a canal junction on the Cannock Extension Canal where the Churchbridge Branch left to join the Hatherton Canal. The junction, along with the northern section of the canal was abandoned in 1963.

Whilst restoration of the Hatherton Canal is proposed, the restored canal will join the Cannock Extension Canal further south, and there are no proposals to restore any of the canals leading to the junction.
