The
route of the Montgomeryshire canal takes it through some of the most spectacularly
beautiful scenery in Britain. The canal was never heavily used and when
it suffered a serious breach in February 1936 it was quickly abandoned.
Its ongoing restoration is one of the most remarkable stories of modern
canal history. It's a story with royal connections; and it's a story that
has involved thousands of waterway enthusiasts and which led to the formation
of the Waterways Recovery Group. It's told to us on video by Harry Arnold,
a waterway photographer and journalist. Harry has a unique collection
of photographs, film and video about the Mont, all of which he has kindly
made available to us for this programme. His knowledge of the canal is
unrivalled. Harry's a founder member of the restoration group and is still
an active participant in every way. Harry's fluid style, his fund of anecdotes
and his burning passion for this waterway make this a gem of a programme
— one that every serious waterway enthusiast will want to own and
watch over and over again. |
