PART of the Stourbridge Canal was found drained of water this morning (Thursday January 4).
Keen walker Alan Meese shared these images with us after snapping the almost empty stretch of canal, between Amblecote and Wordsley, at around 9am today.
He said he later noticed the lock gates had been opened to allow water to flow back in and it looked as if the dried-up waterway had been refilled although water levels still appeared lower than usual.
The Canal and River Trust has been contacted for comment.
