THE Craven Museum and Gallery in York is creating an exhibition celebrating 200 years of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, and is wanting artefacts. - and wants residents to be involved.
It is hoping that people with canal-related objects and photographs or even stories will respond and help create the exhibition, Alan Tilbury tells us.
Share them
Museum Manager, Martin Wills, explains:
"I'm sure people have many happy memories of living, holidaying and working alongside this beautiful canal and we'd love them to share these with us for this exhibition. Are you, or have you ever been a gongoozler? If you don't know what that means, come along to the exhibition and find out!"
Pennine Cruisers, has donated some model boats, including a model of Ferret, a historic canal boat built 90 years ago by Yarwoods at Northwich, Cheshire. The Ferret was the subject of a campaign, backed by Hairy Biker Dave Myers, to raise money to conserve the boat.
