Absolutely brilliant, you have put so much work into this, equally as important as those great guys doing the restoration work! Thanks.

[@kathyjohnson3169]

very informative and excellent presentation. Brilliant, well done and thank you.

Thanks, Kathy

Fascinating. Thank you very much. Looking forward to part 3. I grew up in a house that backed onto the canal in Newport and as a local history living adult, this really hit the spot.

[@Stuvon101]

thanks very much. Working on part 3 now, a lot to cover in this one so is taking a little longer to put together, but will have it out asap.

Absolutely brilliant research. Are we going to see part 3 soon? At Kinnersley there was a bridge over the canal which has been demolished. My dad took me fishing there as a very young boy. I plan to go and see the place where I believe it was. I’ve found a couple of photographs. Do you have any information about it?

[@sierratango11]

Certain parts of canal have been built over already in Ditherington and Castlefields, and gas mains buried in what was canal.

[@Stuvon101]

they have, but the plans are to re open as much as possible.

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

Fascinating video. Was part 3 ever released? I looked on your channel but didn't see it. Parts 1 and 2 are just fantastic!

[@jamesb3226]

Really excellent presentation, thanks. Re the canal gates going to London- you could enquire of the London Canal museum at King’s Cross which I visited recently- very knowledgeable and helpful there, although I saw no gates at the exhibition.

[@Stuvon101]

Thanks for the reply. I have since found out they did go down, but as far as I know they weren't displayed. They were cut up for fire wood in the end. which is very sad.

[@jamesb3226]

@@Stuvon101 ah pity, thanks for the update

[@petersilvester1315]

Fascinating, like part 1. I note that the cast iron strapping post on the outside of the top lock gate (the swinging gate) appears to be of the standard Shropshire Union design, of which there's still quite a few on the Audlem flight where we are. So there was some standardisation, which I guess I would expect.

[@Stuvon101]

thats interesting, i hadn't thought of that. but it makes sense

[@paullawrence-wyatt7960]

I'm surprised you didn't mention canal cottage in Withington which still has the canal bridge in place

[@Stuvon101]

its no longer there

[@paullawrence-wyatt7960]

I can assure you it is because we own it!

[@Stuvon101]

@@paullawrence-wyatt7960 Hi Paul, well thats interesting. I was told that it wasn't there anymore. But if you would let me come and take some videos and pictures it would be great to add in as an update in part 3. Would that be ok with you??

[@martinhibbert1428]

Is there a part 3 ?

[@colin125gwr]

climate change in 1700s causing abnormal flooding ! the river roden runs so fast under this aquaduct,.
