That was interesting, thank you. There is so much work involved in maintaining the canal network. I have to marvel at the original builders of the canals who didn't have the modern day equipment.
Very interesting vlog guys, that was a serious amount of silt that had built up. I suppose it’s good in a way though as you don’t use as much water to fill it 😂 I’ve seen David’s vlog on the making of the lock gates, it’s very good. There was two places in the country that made the gates but I think we are are down to one now. Have a great weekend when it arrives 👍
Thanks Paul. We were very limited regarding what and who we could film this time - we’d have liked more detail in the video, but we’re glad you found it interesting anyway! Rob, Carol and Tilly ❤️
Reminds me of a line in the goo show " Don't go near the canal Neddy!" Enjoyed the engineering aspect. 3 foot of silt!! Wow, guess there could have been quite a methane build-up. Really interesting video, thanks for posting.
As of 2/2/24 : is it possible to visit this area and view the dry canals ? I believe they had an open-day there recently where you could walk along the base of the canals ....but that was just that one day . Can you still visit and the water-free areas ? Many thanks .
I don’t know for sure - we were there two weeks ago for filming, at which time it was, as you say, an open day event. I think you’d need to contact the museum to see whether you can still enter the drained waterway. canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/museums-and-attractions/national-waterways-museum-ellesmere-port

Yes that’s true. I doubt they had any safety equipment, either!
You always make my heart smile 😌
