Several volunteers in high‑visibility vests working along a treelined path beside a canal. One person is placing long dead branches into a natural‑fencing line, while others work further along the path. The scene is outdoors with bare trees and overcast skies
A volunteer wearing a high‑visibility vest, helmet, gloves and ear protection is using a grass trimmer on a grassy embankment beside a brick wall. A small metal sign reading ‘Millenium Lock 25' is in front of them, with fencing, trees and construction activity visible in the background.
A volunteer in a high‑visibility vest is mowing grass along a dirt path beside a canal. A wooden bench sits to the left, with trees and bushes surrounding the area on an overcast day.
A volunteer wearing a high‑visibility vest is raking leaves and debris from a stone‑edged bypass. Bare trees, grass, and a road with two cars are visible in the background.
Fantastic effort from our Green & Grounds team yesterday at Borrowcop.
5 adults and 14 DofE volunteers = a huge impact:
• Dead branches cleared
• Natural fencing at Bobbie’s Bend
• Grass cut / brambles tackled
• Canal debris removed
Give them a task and they get stuck in!

A quiet rural canal scene with a small white liftbridge crossing over calm water. A dirt path runs alongside the canal, bordered by green grass and low vegetation. Yellow blossoms on branches frame the foreground. On the opposite bank are leafless trees and a small wooden structure. Soft late‑afternoon light casts a warm glow across the landscape.
A peaceful canal at sunset with a white metal drawbridge on the left. The still water reflects the sky and surrounding trees. A gravel path follows the canal’s edge, bordered by grass and low vegetation. In the distance, the sun sits low on the horizon, colouring the sky with warm orange light over open fields and trees.
A narrow rural canal at sunset with still water reflecting the sky and leafless trees. A dirt path runs along the right bank beside a wooden bench. Power lines cross the sky diagonally, and the low sun casts a warm orange glow across the landscape.
A quiet canal scene at sunset with calm water reflecting the sky and bare trees on both banks. A gravel path runs along the left side, while a dirt path follows the right. Power lines and pylons stand in the distance, and the low sun creates warm light and long shadows across the scene.
Rob has been out with his camera again and aren’t we glad he has.
Just look at these stunning shots from Darnford Moors Ecology Park.

"The cathedral was built between early 13th century and c. 1320 in the Decorated Gothic style. The work probably began with the choir at the east end and progressed west through the transepts, chapter house, nave, and south-west tower. The lady chapel, central tower, south-east tower, and three spires followed. The building was restored after the Civil War under bishop John Hacket and several times in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the details of the building date from the restorations undertaken by George Gilbert Scott, owing to the soft sandstone of which it is constructed as well as war damage."
"an effigy of Charles II, in wig and plumes and trunk hose, of almost Gothic grotesqueness, surmounts the middle window"
--- Henry James.
[The statue was sited at the front of the cathedral, but was moved during 19th-century restoration work]

Black-and-white historic photos show a group of men in suits and workwear gathered beside a canal works site, talking and observing construction with tools visible on the ground. A closer image shows a small group in conversation by the water’s edge, with industrial buildings in the background.
A colour photo shows an open members’ magazine on a table, with the cover titled “Cut Both Ways” featuring volunteers in high-visibility clothing and hard hats, alongside an article page that includes the historic photos.
Back in Feb we asked where/when these BCN photos were taken.
It was Smethwick, 1982!

A construction volunteer in a blue helmet and high‑visibility vest stands beside a large drainage installation. A black corrugated plastic pipe is strapped into a concrete pipe section, surrounded by muddy water and brick canal wall.
A canal construction site showing a black corrugated pipe connected to a concrete culvert set into brickwork. The area is muddy with scattered building materials, and safety barriers sit above the site near nearby houses.
At Gallows Wharf, it took five valiant volunteers, four ratchet straps, and a fair bit of pipe fitter’s ingenuity to fit a 450mm pipe into a 28" concrete pipe at the interception point.
A brilliant bit of teamwork - well done all!
Now we just need to fix it in place.

24 Mar 1560: Thomas Bentham is consecrated as bishop of #Coventry & #Lichfield #otd He'd been an exile & member of John Knox's congregation in #Geneva. Elizabeth wasn't keen on ex-exiles as bishops but his promoters were Nicholas Bacon & William Cecil (Bs0u10e01 - Lichfield)
A three‑image collage showing construction site welfare facilities. The top image shows five construction volunteers in high‑visibility jackets and helmets standing in mud with excavation machinery behind them. The bottom‑left image shows the old welfare setup: a small white cabin beside a green portable toilet marked “TOILET HIRE,” with a mini‑digger behind temporary fencing. The bottom‑right image shows a modern eco‑welfare unit on hire for trial, branded “euraloo” and “eco welfare,” with solar panels on the roof and enclosed by temporary fencing
What do volunteers who build canals really need on site?
Warmth, hot water, a kettle… and somewhere to dry off.
We need your help to provide these essential facilities.
