Welcome to my first in a series of videos on the Hatherton Canal, the other half of the Lichfield and Hatherton Canal Restoration Trust. We look at the first part of the canal and what needs to be done to restore it, from the junction on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal through the first 3 locks to the edge of cannock where the canal is buried under industrial estates. The canal which was abandoned in 1954 could be revived as a part restoration and a part new route going under the M6 Toll and joining the Lord Hay arm, also abandoned where it can link back in with the Wyrley and Essington Canal which eventually joins onto the Lichfield Canal at Ogley Junction.
How will the canal get under the M6? How will it pass under the flattened bridges and causeways that have replace all but 2 of the traditional humpback bridges? Keep watching to find out!
