To Worcester & Birmingham Canal Co (W D George)
Worcester
I'm told by a Stroud coal merchant he is having coal from Messrs Morris & Shaw's Birch Coppice Colliery near Polesworth, and that they are making arrangements to send him the coal by water. Is this so. How far is the colliery from Coventry Canal and the distance to Birmingham c/f Cannock Chase or Hawkins. I have introduced the Fishley to Stroud & Cainscross Co-op Soc. What is the rate on the Coventry from Polesworth to Birmingham and Birmingham to Gloucester, so that I can give the coal merchant the information when asked.
