NN11 7HJ Tel: 01788 899041 Fax: 01788 891535 unt isco d s ber 0% em 1 S M CC for EDITORIAL BY VIVIENNE Firstly I would like to thank those of you who very kindly sent me an article for the Coventry Canal magazine. I am unable to use all of the articles as I have to keep the magazine to a strict weight for postage costs, but I shall be using said articles in future issues. I hope you are all enjoyed the last magazine and are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Autumn edition. I had some very good feedback at the Barbe Cruise, and was really thrilled with the response I got when I mingled with you. Not being a naturally sociable creature (I prefer sitting in a corner being unnoticed) I’m finding the job as Editor pushing me to my limits, but having said that at the Barbe Cruise those of you whom I have not had the pleasure of speaking to made it very easy for me, and all of you who I asked were more than happy for me to photograph you - so give yourselves a big round of applause. The day for me to travel to Beale Park on board panther is looming now, and when you get your magazines I hope we will be well on our way. I’m getting quite anxious at the prospect of going to London again, especially to travel on the Thames. The last time I did that journey was on board Duchess who was being tossed around like a little wooden bobbin. At one point the water washed over Duchess’s stern so fiercely, I thought she would sink. I then panicked at the prospect of being with an elderly dog with arthritis, an elderly man who couldn’t swim and the boatfuls of Oriental tourists who filmed me with a bucket lodged firmly between my legs. On a lighter note, I met Gavin Lawson the Editor of The Legger at the Braunstone Boat Show, and I loved the opening paragraph as I opened the professional glossy magazine: ‘I love real Ale’ After our introduction and a chat, Gavin and I agreed we would give each other a complimentary copy of our respective magazines. The Legger is the magazine of the Dudley Canal Trust and made for some very interesting reading. I briefly explained what Panther and the Coventry Canal Society did and felt very proud when I handed over our “going places” Coventry Canal magazine. In the next issue I will be taking you on a rather special journey, it will be the production of the C.C.S. magazine. Finally, as most of you know the Society has been broken into again and some of the boats unfortunately have been damaged. Please can we take care to make sure nothing at all of any value is left on board an empty boat. Thieves are looking for cash, anything with a street value and anything worth drinking . Please take any valuables home with you EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS 2010 Chair Allen Wilson 19 Jackers Road [email protected] COVENTRY CV2 1PH 024 7627 8362 Vice-Chair Vacant Secretary Tony Mann 5 Forryan Close [email protected] Cosby LEICESTER 07733 145314 LE9 1TS 0116 2861998 Assistant Secretary Vacant Treasurer Fraser Diesch 26 Castlewood Park [email protected] Hinckley Road Sapcote LEICESTER LE9 4JZ 01455 230096 Membership Secretary Brian Pope 7 Frampton Walk COVENTRY CV2 2JE 024 7661 4463 General Member 1 Vacant General Member 2 Steven Kingham 88 Lentons Lane (Harbourmaster) COVENTRY 07767 672460 CV2 1NW 024 7661 1299 General Member 3 Vic Rainsford 157 Milverton Road (Social Secretary) COVENTRY CV2 1GL 024 7661 9357 General Member 4 Dave Perkins 38 Wilsons Lane (Joint Property Manager) COVENTRY CV6 6AD 024 7636 3378 General Member 5 Nigel Wooltorton 11 Brayford Avenue (Canoe Club Chair) COVENTRY CV3 5BS 024 7641 8796 General Member 6 Robin Townshend 11 Judith Way (Joint Property Manager) Cawston RUGBY CV22 7FY 07825 223640 Magazine Editor Vivienne Pitts 18 Gimson Avenue [email protected] (non Committee Member) Cosby Leicestershire 07732 015 617 LE9 1SS 0116 286 5781 Paddlers Tales First of all I must welcome our new members. Membership numbers are creeping up and there has been plenty going on at the club. One change is that around half of our members are now junior paddlers. Not to be outdone by the kids, Doug, Jon and Andy have just completed their BCU 2star award at the canal basin. Part of the training included a trip from Warwick up to the Saxon Mill and back, all in glorious sunshine. Thanks to Mike for doing the assessment. This award is a good grounding in flat water techniques in both canoe and kayak. Well done guys! Andy has been busy recently. He paddled with Sam and others from Hawkesbury Junction out onto the Ashby Canal, stopping one night and then paddling back, a distance of 48 miles. Quite a paddle, in an open Canadian on the canal. For more information on this fund raising charity paddle have a look at this link; http://www.justgiving.co.uk/canoeingforcancer2010 Liam, Tom and Damo have been getting to grips with the white water on the course at Nottingham, with a couple of pleasant Friday evening paddles. They will be competing there in September in the Youth Freestyle event. The club recently hosted a West Midlands regional development meeting. This was a good opportunity to make contacts and put some faces to names. They have recently revamped their web site, so have a look at- www.canoe-englandwestmidlands.org.uk/ which is a useful resource for paddling. Other sites you may wish to try are www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk which has lots of news, videos and information on amongst other things white water and sea paddling. You can also look up “song of the paddle” for the canoe paddlers. I haven’t given the web address as I believe there were some changes taking place. We have been busy with lots of group sessions being run at the basin. Thank you to everyone that has helped. All the participants seem to have enjoyed themselves and are often amazed at the canal environment near the City Centre. I managed to escape for two days, sea kayaking off the coast of Anglesey on a course. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it may be something we consider as a group. The weather was kind and we went out to paddle some of the tidal races near South Stack Have a search for Penrhyn Mawr to find out more. In many ways these are just like extremely high volume rivers, except they flow in two directions and the waves go on for over a mile! The scenery was superb and there is nothing like stopping for lunch on a remote beach, backed by the cliffs. I was surprised at how clear the sea water was and took a couple of underwater shots with the club camera. This was another example of how diverse our sport really is. The Pool sessions start again in September so look out for information being circulated. They kick off at 7.45pm at President Kennedy School on the first the then second Tuesday of the month, when these fall in term time. Look out for information on paddling activities taking place and join in whenever you can. See you on the water. Through the ‘chair’ It seems quite some time since I last wrote my fore-word for your magazine and, as usual, we have been very active. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who attended the shows at Crick, Stoke Bruerne and the Historic boat Rally at Braunston, on behalf of the Coventry Canal Society, for their efforts.

It took 7 years of labor, slowly clawing shovels of earth from the ground in a 363-mile trek across the wilderness of New York State. Through the use of many references, this paper attempts to describe this remarkable construction project. Additionally, it describes the early operation of the canal and its impact on the daily life on or near the canal‘s winding path across the state.

  • Heritage at Risk
    Heritage at Risk Contents Introduction Dilapidation in progress History 360 degree view Future Uses Costs and Future Action Report prepared by Altrincham & Bowdon Civic Society June 2020 https://altrinchamandbowdoncs.com/ Introduction Altrincham, Broadheath and Timperley have 48 listed buildings. The Broadheath Canal Warehouse is Grade II listed. It has been allowed to deteriorate to the point where unless remedial action is taken it may become lost for ever. It is our heritage and if we want future generation to understand and be in touch their history, action is required. The Bridgewater Canal was the first contour canals built in the Britain necessitating not a single lock throughout its 39½ mile length. The initial length of the canal, Worsley to Castlefield, was opened in 1761 with permission to build the extension from Stretford to Broadheath allowing that section to open in 1767. The further extension through to Runcorn was opened in 1769 allowing the link up with the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook. The Duke of Bridgewater had been smart enough to also purchase the land at Broadheath where the turnpike road from Chester to Manchester would cross the canal. Here he established many wharfs along the canal bank to handle goods going into Manchester, principally vegetables from the new market gardens which sprang up around Broadheath. On the return journey the boats brought back coal from the Duke’s mines in Worsley which was used to heat local homes and power small industries. The wharfs at Broadheath handled timber, sand, slates, bricks, limestone to make mortar, raw cotton and flax, and finished good.

  • Coventry Canal: a Towpath Arts Trail
    AINA CASE STUDY CULTURAL HERITAGE Coventry Canal: a towpath arts trail Three examples of the imaginative artwork and sculpture to be found alongside the towpath in Coventry Britain's longest outdoor art gallery helps interpret local heritage and canal history Like so many urban waterways the Coventry Canal combines industrial heritage and recent development with open spaces and areas of nature conservation interest. The nine kilometre length between Coventry Canal Basin and Hawkesbury Junction, where it meets the Oxford Canal, has seen substantial improvements over the last twenty years, including towpath works, access points, signage and regeneration of derelict sites next to the waterway. A canalside arts trail now compliments these enhancements and the towpath provides the setting for almost 40 installations which have been created by 31 different artists from the UK and overseas. Many of the pieces, which range in scale from small seats to larger than life sculptures, reflect the social and cultural heritage of the canal, and efforts were made to involve local people. Older residents, for example, were invited to share their memories from the days when the canal was a thriving commercial artery. Specific features include a bronze statue of canal engineer James Brindley and a mosaic map of the canal (both located by the Basin), a heritage marker which celebrates the first car factory in the UK, and a sculpture which commemorates the work of the canal navvies through depiction of the simple tools used by the early canal builders. The old local boating families are represented by a couple of steel sculptures which pay tribute to the people who lived and worked on the barges.

  • Cruise Guide
    Cruise Guide Parking in the Dirty Duck car park; making your way over the18th Century canal bridge, you’ll notice restored Lock 17 to your right, with restored Lock 16 to the left. Beyond this, at the end of the half mile straight, lies the newly restored Lock 15. The Dirty Duck building pre dates the canal, and was a shooting lodge before becoming a public house and coal wharf. Passing Lock 17, the fields on the far side of the canal once accommodated a brickworks. It was here where men, women and children made bricks for the canal. Children, often as young as five years old, would be employed hand making bricks. We sometimes find their finger marks in the bricks during restoration work. Continuing along the towpath; before the mid 1990s, we would now have to climb a style and clamber up a steep railway embankment and down the other side, to reach Lock 18 and our boat moorings. This embankment was removed by volunteer labour. The track bed to our left, is now part of Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 15. Our skipper and crew will introduce themselves at Lock 18. Following their instruction, taking care when boarding the boat – there’s no rush – this is where we leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind for a while. This is the summit level. The canal has climbed 140 feet through 18 locks from the River Trent 28 miles away. It would now be plain sailing for boatmen, women and children in the working days of the canal with their horse drawn boats.

  • State of the Waterways' Heritage 2012/13
    STATE OF THE WATERWAYS’ HERITAGE 2012/13 June 2013 Nigel Crowe Heritage, Technical T: 07710 175026 Page 2 of 25 Cover photograph – North Warehouse, Sharpness, repaired in 2012/13 and no longer at risk. INTRODUCTION The Canal & River Trust was formed in July 2012 but for consistency with previous State of the Waterways Heritage reports, this report treats the year as a whole and does not separate data relating to the Trust from that of its predecessor, British Waterways. It does not however include any data relating to Scotland. The theme of the annual state of England’s historic environment (produced by English Heritage) Heritage Counts 2012 was ‘resilience’, which explored how organisations involved with heritage were able to ‘adapt, anticipate and respond to changing circumstances’. Research for Heritage Counts found that three factors demonstrated resilience in an organisation. Benchmarked against these factors the Trust has performed well in its first year. Their focus on developing people – the Trust has improved and increased its relationship and communication with volunteers and supporters and it has people with knowledge and understanding of heritage at board level. Their approach to managing historic assets – the Trust has continued to make good commercial use of its assets while at the same time balancing the needs of people and heritage conservation. It has a dedicated team of heritage advisers, a well-established, expert heritage advisory committee and it continues to deliver heritage training for its staff. Their strategic vision – the Trust is increasingly visible and connected and has developed a network of voluntary waterway partnerships and advisory groups.

  • 21-6-2016 Chesterfield Canal
    Public Agenda Item No. 4(i) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT and INFRASTRUCTURE 21 June 2016 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities CHESTERFIELD CANAL STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PLAN (1) Purpose of Report To seek endorsement of the Chesterfield Canal Strategic Investment Plan as part of the Derbyshire Waterways Strategy. (2) Information and Analysis The Derbyshire Waterways Strategy was approved at the meeting of Cabinet on 17 June 2014 (Minute No. 218/14 refers). This included a significant work programme contributing to the restoration of the Chesterfield Canal. This identified the need for a Strategic Investment Plan in order to identify priority areas where restoration will best support regeneration, to seek ways to improve income generation from canal related activities and to develop a sustainable model for the canals. For the Chesterfield Canal, Derbyshire County Council owns and maintains 5 miles of navigable water and, as part of the Chesterfield Canal Partnership (CCP), has the shared aim of restoring the canal and its connection to the national canal network, and to promote the sustainable economic and social regeneration of the Chesterfield Canal Corridor. This will be essential if the Authority is to both realise the benefits of regeneration for communities and the local economy, and to reduce its own on-going management costs. Achieving a sustainable model will also be necessary if opportunities for potential alternative bodies to take on the canal in the future are to be explored. Working in consultation with CCP partners, a Strategic Investment Plan has now been completed for the Chesterfield Canal.
