Another milestone

Published: Thursday, 22 July 2010

WORK on the restoration of the Lichfield Canal, is continuing with the completion of Lock 25 bywash.

Another milestone event occurred when the recent mid-week team completed construction of Lock 25 bywash which has taken 18 months to build right through from Pound 26, Michael Chase tells us. The photograph by Bob Williams shows work on the bywash in August of last year, with passers-by asking if they were building a wishing well!

Bob, Director Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust explained:

"We are most grateful to all those who have worked on this from time to time to create something very distinctive for Lichfield to a standard that could never have been afforded commercially. An excellent example of volunteer commitment and ability.

"Now, what's next?"
