Buckingham Canal progress

WORK is still progressing on the restoration of the Buckingham Canal, with the building of the derelict bridge at Little Hill Farm.

Both skilled and unskilled volunteers of the Buckingham Canal Society carried out the work on the canal bridge, that is now completed.

Traditional methods

Society Chairman Athina Becket explained:

"Many people will be familiar with this style of traditional canal bridge. It has been a labour of love by our volunteers and completed using traditional lime mortar and original materials wherever possible. It is wonderful to see the interest that continues to grow in this exciting project. A broad mix of volunteers both young and old has worked on this project to preserve this piece of local heritage."

The society has around 200 volunteers but is always willing to accept more to help with the work parties it runs every month.
