Gloucs Cut somewhere

looks more like worcester to me.

Diglis dock area

Is that a cathedral in the back ground 

It's not Lincoln is it

Does look a bit like Worcester Cathedral but can'e see where the adjacent New Road Cricket Ground fits in.

That's why I though it were somewhere else.

Years ago the Cathedral owned the cricket ground.

I'm with Macca. Diglis Worcester.

On opposite bank to cathedral.

Should have thought, BWB had crappity smack all to do with the Gloucs Canal, - they don't own that.

I used to go down to Worcester virtually every week when I was a youngster.
In those days we called it Paynes, on the Severn, or something like that and it was free fishing, brilliant roach fishing on its day with some skimmers thrown in. I thought Diglis Weir was a fair hike from there .
Parking used to be brilliant.
Bet it has all changed now!!!

As a change we used to go further down to Kempsey, day ticket 2 bob. There were loads of bream by the church but further down brilliant stick float pegs, off the rocks, for chub, dace, bream and roach. You had to make your own stick floats then, - it was before they hit the shops.
Daren't tell yers how long ago that was

Paynes meadow is on opposite bank to Cathedral.
Still good fishing Bill. Loads of bream at the bottom end of the stretch. The picture is taken just above Diglis where the Birmingham to Worcester canal joins the Severn.
