2007 — Mud, Triumph and Tea-Bag Tales

The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust's restoration efforts in 2007 demonstrated remarkable resilience and community spirit. Despite the major setback of losing a £12 million Big Lottery grant for the Cricklade Country Way, dedicated volunteers continued to push forward. They battled severe weather to rebuild locks, poured concrete for spillweirs, and engaged in creative local fundraising. Simultaneously, exciting new plans emerged to bring the historic canal route back through the heart of Swindon's town centre.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Journals/ Magazines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Illustrated History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilts & Berks Canal Trust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
