THIS is the first picture of the new Long Horse Bridge being prepared for lifting over the Trent at Derwent Mouth.

BRITISH Waterways have discovered a new method of saving water when locking. Double up—in narrow locks!

THE roots of canal transport will be celebrated at the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port next week-end with the Horses At Work event.

THERE was a U-boat on view at Liverpool Docks over the week-end, but not a real one.

THE Heritage Lottery Fund has approved a development grant to the Grantham Canal Partnership of £48,000, that could lead to much more cash.

BILL White, who spend 30 years as the lock keeper at Hoddesdon Lock on the Lee has died.

ONCE again British Waterways is asking for volunteer lock keepers for this summer, with not enough volunteers coming forward.

THE organisers are going flat-out with the the Rochdale Canal Festival this year, with a fortnight of events.

THE music festival Folk on the Water that was staged over ten days helped to raise nearly £3,000 for injured soldiers and a babies' hospice.

THE National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port is set for a packed Saturday this weekend.
