At Gallows Reach, volunteers have had a productive couple of days.
They dug out for the next 5 m pad and concreted it, and then cleared the following 8 m section.

Can anyone help us move a 12ft x 12ft container (a bit like this one) between two of our sites?
If you have suitable transport / lifting equipment (or know someone who does) we’d be grateful for your support. 🙏

Lot's more Lichfeldians added to the #Lichfield starter pack...
Another milestone at Darnford Moors Ecology Park as the final block goes in on the new canal wall. Bricklaying is up next.
Great work!
Our #Lichfield starter pack seems a little light - who's missing from it?

We’re still looking for our new Environment Trustee.
It's a role with real impact, boosting biodiversity and strengthening habitats as we restore Lichfield Canal’s blue‑green corridor. 🌿
Here's a preview of the steps we're building at Fosseway Heath, up the embankment to the McClean Way.
This is where people have been scrambling up and down the steep bank, so it will be much safer once we've finished.
At Gallows Reach this week, our volunteers dug out and concreted a slightly larger 5m pad.
It was also getting a bit awkward to grade the sides, with the redundant big pipe sections still in-situ, so they removed the final ten sections. Yay!
Great work!
Breadmarket Street, Lichfield. The postcard was issued by Boots ‘Pelham’ series and it would date to 1909/1910.
In 1891 Mrs Till opened at the birthplace of Samuel Johnson. The business lasted about two years before a private house.

You’ve seen the photos… now watch the video.
A brilliant day with volunteers from The Co-operative Bank (part of Coventry Building Society) giving back by helping us, and making a huge impact.
Tamworth Road is clear of spoil again (for now) so our Gallows Reach team can keep digging.
Fast forward to 2028 and this will be a completed canal. 😃
