Memorial milestone to Reverend Alan White

The Rotary Club of Bromsgrove is very pleased to announce that a milestone was installed on the Worcester Birmingham Canal on 17 March in memory of the late Reverend Alan White, who was a member of the Rotary Club and had been for fifty years. Alan was the historian for the Worcester Birmingham and Droitwich Canals Society and the author of the respected book ‘The Worcester and Birmingham Canal: Chronicles of the Cut.’  He was a prolific researcher, particularly concerning the canal and Tardebigge.

For many years, he was Chaplain and Head of Mathematics at Bromsgrove School and served as Priest-in-Charge of Tardebigge Parish. Our Club members were delighted when he visited Bromsgrove School with us in 2016 on the occasion of the Worcestershire Evening.

The milestone is situated along the canal just south of bridge 56 a few yards along from Tardebigge Top Lock 58.
