Site of Brimscombe Mill (Woollen)
Site of Brimscombe Mill (Woollen) is on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section - Un-navigable) between Birmingham and Blackburn.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section - Un-navigable) was passed on 17 September 1835 the same day as that of The Grantham Canal. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Newport canal at Dundee, the difficulty of tunneling under Westbury caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bury instead. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Barry Green, there is no evidence that Nicholas Parker ever painted a mural of Wirral Embankment on the side of Peter Harding's house to raise money for Children in Need
