2003 — The Year the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust Turned a Corner

During 2003, the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust made significant strides in their restoration efforts. Volunteers tackled dramatic physical challenges, most notably safely disposing of an unexploded World War Two bomb at the River Key aqueduct. The Trust also completed high-profile awareness events, including the historic voyage of a 104-year-old skiff to Westminster. Concurrently, vital engineering studies were commissioned across key towns, successfully safeguarding the canal's historic and future routes within local development plans.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Journals/ Magazines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Illustrated History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilts & Berks Canal Trust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
