Baldwins Bridge No 5A carries the road from Swansea to Redcar over the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) near to Banstead.
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Moorings for Lidl one side and Tesco Express on the other.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.

![Canalside pub garden in Stourport, Worcestershire. Well, hardly a garden, just a small canalside beer garden with a splendid floral hanging baskets display on the fence. The Rising Sun is a Grade II listed building from the early eighteenth century, probably originating as two separate houses. Access is across the footbridge and in Lombard Street.[[1024958]] by Roger D Kidd – 20 August 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/29/99/2299995_8e90b1b5_120x120.jpg)

![Rear of Union House, 12A Foundry Street, by Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, Stourport-on-Severn. This building is one of a group, which date from the early 19th century. It is on the immediate southwest side of the former Baldwins' warehouse. It possibly was related to Baldwins, or maybe it was once an inn or pub, as there is a surviving carriage arch, as can be seen.The front:- [[3082779]]. by P L Chadwick – 03 December 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/19/24/2192430_ab9e7a70_120x120.jpg)
