1986 – Community Drive & Restoration Triumphs

Join Matthew as he explores 1986, a landmark year for the Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group. From the lively Foxham Canal Fun Day to raising over £10,000 through the Dauntsey Lock Appeal, the group’s efforts captured community spirit and dedication. Wiltshire County Council’s support grew, recognizing the canal’s heritage and environmental value. Marking a step forward in professionalism, the group planned its transition to Limited Company status. Amid restoration work and advocacy, 1986 was a year of progress, unity, and hope for the canal’s future.⁠⁠⁠Journals/ Magazines⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Illustrated History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilts & Berks Canal Trust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
