  • Ten years ago, I made a documentary about an abandoned canal in Shropshire that was thought impossible to return to water. The Shrewsbury and Newport Canals Trust didn't agree and started work to return the navigation to its former glory.
    I return a decade later to see what progress they have made. I meet Bernie Jones, the chairman of the trust, at Wappenshall Junction to explain all.

    I really love the idea of looking after old buildings and structures, rather than abandoning them. Too much of that has happened in the past. I love being around canals, remembering the hard work men had to create them and the workers who carried goods along the various canals. Our history in tangible form. 👍

    Hi Richard, thanks for the wonderful update and for pointing me in the direction of the original video you did in 2018. When I watched that one I thought the following year's "problems" would impacted on the situation. However, it was good to see they're making headway! I think that cafe will look lovely once it is finished! Brilliant drone footage too btw. Thank you. 👍🙂

    Amazing dedicated work by volunteers. Thank you Richard for bringing this piece of history to our attention. We are surrounded by canals near us and we enjoy running and visiting much welcome cafes along ours such as Sowerby Bridge and Upper Mill along with Hebdon Bridge where the mill houses an Archimedes wheel one of two near us. Yes get the ☕ part open first my priority on a project.
    Thank you. ❤

    I do hope that when people are applying for their permits to leave their areas once agenda 2030 is in place will carefully consider where they wish to visit and ensure that all these amazing places get seen. Our heritage is so beautiful and so important to remember what has been before and how its been changed both for the better use and and looks. I live in Shropshire so would like to pop to see this once it's finished. Unfortunately it's further than 15mins from my home but I will make sure one permit allows me to visit. ❤

    Had a quick look video. It's almost as if RV has had a time slip and is doing his old content again. Unfortunately, he keeps changing content and now his current subscriber base isn't interested in his original stuff. "Where's the flat earth content gone?", they shout. Good to see an effort being made into making a video again though. It seems to have been a while away. If he started a new channel for his farm and basically posts trailers for it on this one, he'll get only the most interested subscribers to help the algo. Posting on this channel is probably doomed to failure because 95% won't be interested and growth will be poor, I think he could have a very successful smallholding channel if it's on its own channel and only that content and is well filmed. Looking forward to seeing it.

      In 1963 the saucepan lids took Pronunciation and Grammar off the schools curriculum. We've now got to the point where people cannot write at all, and use tiny pictures instead that nobody else understands, except themselves. I despair, I really do. Come on people, smarten up your act so you can communicate in the real world. Instead of children's hieroglyphics. You're better than this.
