Bald Explorer: An Abandoned Canal - The Shrewsbury and Newport Canal

The Shrewsbury and Newport Canals were once connected to the Shropshire Union Canal allowing coal and limestone to be brought out of Telford during the Industrial Revolution. Cheese and other products from Shrewsbury were exported across the country and overseas thanks to these important waterways. Sadly, in the mid twenthith century the canal fell into disuse like so many of the British navigations. However, the Shrewsbury and Newport Canals Trust are attempting to put the canals back into water. This is their story.
