Monthly work party on the Uttoxeter Canal.  This month we will be working around Carrington’s Lock at Crumpwood.

No parking is available on site so please meet at Carrington’s Lock at 10am having made your own way on foot. The site is just over 1 mile along the old railway track from either Denstone or Alton.  Take the footpath to Bridge 70 which leaves the railway track by the canal milepost, and continue along the track towards the old pumping station.   The OS grid reference is SK 093 424.  The What3Words (what3words.com) location is ///outbound.courier.fever.

All tools and equipment will be provided. Volunteers are advised to wear old clothes and stout shoes.  Bring your own refreshments and waterproofs in case of rain.

This work party is jointly organised by IWA North Staffordshire & South Cheshire Branch and Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
