Rain or shine big thanks to Peter and his dedicated group of volunteers for doing a great job over the autumn and winter cutting down the sapling growth along the bed of the canal.

Much more needs doing, but for now we take a break over the nesting season. ... See more

Many thanks to the Birmingham Canal Navigation Society (BCNS), South Birmingham Labour Party Group and Nifty Fifties Shenley Green for their invitations to give a presentation on the History and Restoration of the Dudley No 2 Canal.

The Canal became part of the BCN in 1846, and discussing the history was challenging. The Labour group kindly offered to help with Newsletter distribution and linking to schools. Also very lively discussion and questions from the Nifty Fifties group with lots of engagement and support for the canal. Interesting reminiscence of boats on the canal with one member remembering the blacksmith shoeing the horses pulling the boats. Like a presentation? - E-mail nbhugh@gmail.com ... See more
