It’s also home to a network of canals, many of which radiate from Sherborne Wharf and are now lined with trendy cafes and bars.

The village of Shenstone in Staffordshire.
Shenstone is mentioned in the Domesday Book and its population described as quite large. It is located close to Stonnall and between Lichfield and Birmingham. It is served by Shenstone railway station on the Cross-City railway line. The village also has an infrequent bus service operated by Central Buses. The route is numbered 35B and operates Monday to Saturday every two hours between Walsall, Aldridge, Druids Heath, Stonnall, Shenstone and Lichfield. Previously it was the operations of Arriva Midlands who tendered the service before September 2014.
The village is served by Greysbrooke Primary School on Barnes Road. A previous incarnation of the school was located on Birmingham Road, on the land currently occupied by the Greysbooke cul-de-sac. Shenstone Lodge school lies on the Birmingham Road approximately half a mile south of the village.
Shenstone was formerly the manufacturing home of the Norton Motorcycle. The old factory still remains on the outskirts of the village. The village is served by 4 public houses: The Fox & Hounds, The Railway, The Plough and The Bull's Head.
The British actress Helen Baxendale grew up in the village. Henry Sanders, curate of Shenstone from 1755 to 1770, was author of The History and Antiquities of Shenstone, described as "a model parish history, containing elaborate accounts of the local manors, hamlets, farms, genealogies, and assessments".
