Excellent video Steve, I'll be walking down by cricket Lane tomorrow. I'm glad that the Lichfield Canal trust is supported by local businesses like the one I work for, Tippers Builders Merchants, they get a lot of gear from us. Hope you don't mind me mentioning them here. All I can say is.... Good Job 👍👍👍👏👏👍👏👏
It’s a shame the HS2 infrastructure designers aren’t able to make public their plans, probably due to heavy public protests that inevitably result every time a Confirmed route section is announced and the “rare newt” fraternity mobilise again!
@ ah that’s good news. You know how some groups are so anti “spoiling the look of the English countryside etc they will often do their very best to get some of these big projects postponed indefinitely.
@@MrBsMiniAdventures that’s one of the reasons I started making them, it’ll be great in 5-10 years to see the amazing progress. Documenting as much history as possible is my aim

Nice one Steve, already a member of the trust and 500 club, great update, although I’m on the south coast I wanted to support something truly English and part of our heritage and culture, when I retire in a few years I would like to come up and camp for a couple/few fortnights a year and do something to help whatever that is at the time, so refreshing to see a charitable organisation where no one is on the make, just unpaid volunteers in every role doing their best! Fantastic! Best Andy.

Three huge areas of progress for the team going on - thanks for the updates Steve. Wishing HS2 get their act together soon as... Meantime, I'm a sucker for the 'action' shots myself... drone segment from 7:39 - yes.! Paul's short video 'diary' of the work to shift the pile of soil is brill too..! ;-)
Just some comment from HS2 to what they are doing would be good. Even if it’s just a timetable that says it’s being done by a certain time. The lack of dates really holds up those working so hard at the trust. It was arranged to see them working, I’ve caught them before but I knew serious work was going on, that’s why I was there. I was really good to see so much activity on one site. Yes he does a good job with the Lichfield content, it’s always worth watching
@@CourtAboveTheCut Agreed - the knock-on effect of others lives effectively being 'on-hold' waiting for them to decide on next steps, or even as you say giving a timetable out, at the least... would be the responsible/respectful thing to do...

@ Yes they are extremely lucky. I volunteer for a museum local to me as well as being full time employed elsewhere. It can be very difficult staffing with volunteers as often people are in the same position as myself which can be very difficult finding the time.

Hello, we are staying in Lichfield at the end of January and hope to walk some of the seven miles to see what has been happening. Thanks for the video, gives us a good idea of what we can expect to see.

@ there’s a toilet block going in up by the lock keepers cottage and hopefully a bridge, there’s been issues with the bridge though.

Last time I was there a couple of years ago, the shiny new HS2 was ploughing through nearby farmland & the roads & old infrastructure next to it were literally falling apart. Very odd priorities 😢
Most of the roads around it are temporary, they’ve been diverted for the works and built entire new lanes, the ones that are original are largely being rerouted once the work is done.

Every time I drive along the M6 Toll I pass under the yet-to-be connected canal bridge over the motorway. Any idea when this section might be starting ?
That question can’t be answered yet, it’s on the other end to where the trust are working so not for a few years yet. You never know with the Lichfield though!

Good question! The priority is on this end at the moment, there are some plans to move forward but they need to work with some landowners. I saw some ideas about putting a marina up that way in one of the current quarries, that would push things to open up. I reckon that end will open from the other end though and they will meet in the middle
We are concentrating on the other end at the moment, so we,can get as much in water as we can. But if an opportunity comes up to do something with the aqueduct, we'll grab it.

Very informative update on what looks like a professionally organised and executed project - from brickworks to towpaths. Do canal craft have access to any part of the restored canal?
@@malcolmrichardson3881 no not yet, although I think they should have a trip boat down at Darnford moors. I guess when this next 2 years is up and there’s a whole new section in water then it makes sense to run trips here as it’ll be 3/4 of a mile there compared to about 0.3 miles at Darnford moors
I took a walk along the old train line that runs parallel with part of the canal about 5 years ago. We went down and spoke to the volunteers. Since then they may have got a lot done to the areas they were working on. But made no progress further up the canal what so ever. A false bridge was put in over the m6 toll around 20 odd years ago ready for the arrival of the project. And they are no where near it. I’m all for organisations that get enthusiastic people involved. But at the speed this project has gone and is going. It will probably take two life times to complete. As a local I’m excited the mothballed train track will be turned into a walk way from lich to chasewater. And it’s already going at great pace to making that happen with those volunteers. But the canal restoration is a doomed project in my opinion which is a great shame with the efforts of the volunteers
You do realise this is probably the fastest moving canal restoration in the country? The aqueduct was put in at a time when the trust were relatively small, they’ve grown now and the progress over the last 5 years has been massive, it’s still a way off of the aqueduct as they are focusing on the first half of the canal and will start that way once they’ve got about 3 1/2 miles connected to the main network
That’s fair enough and I’m glad the team has grown . And as someone who enjoys local history and the changing of networks and geography, I’d be happy to eat my words if I’m wrong! What’s happening about getting under the Birmingham train line. And also do they own the land the other side of the fosseway lane now?
@ the land is due to be given to them soon I think, it’s all in the developers hands until they pass it over which they are due to do. The railway is probably being dealt with behind the scenes, the planning is all now approved for the bits up to it so there will be a team making a plan in the background, that’s a couple of years off as they have 18 months to 2 years for the bridges and locks up to gallows wharf. That would be in a planning with the St John’s section which is 2 lovks, 2 bridges (already built) and then the railway. The roundabout on the other side of the railway already has the tunnel under

It’s a good thought but I imagine the costs wouldn’t make it worth it, it’s also probably not the best for what they need, it’s all soil and they will need much heavier stuff to rebuild that!
It links to the Coventry canal and Huddlesford junction then onto the wyrley and Essington at Ogley junction. It brings a load of dead end canals into a larger cruising loop and short cut across the top of the Birmingham network.

It’s actually an incredibly cheap project, there’s a motorway section costing £10 billion at the moment and a bypass around a billon, that doesn’t come close to the mileage HS2 is getting for the money. Don’t listen to everything the daily mail tells you
Why don't they but the power cable in the canal instead the farme land and pylons for the windmills. Drain the canal dig holes and full of water two jobs at once.and clean the canal make it deep and cleaner . common sense people.

Nice one Steve, already a member of the trust and 500 club, great update, although I’m on the south coast I wanted to support something truly English and part of our heritage and culture, when I retire in a few years I would like to come up and camp for a couple/few fortnights a year and do something to help whatever that is at the time, so refreshing to see a charitable organisation where no one is on the make, just unpaid volunteers in every role doing their best! Fantastic! Best Andy.

Three huge areas of progress for the team going on - thanks for the updates Steve. Wishing HS2 get their act together soon as... Meantime, I'm a sucker for the 'action' shots myself... drone segment from 7:39 - yes.! Paul's short video 'diary' of the work to shift the pile of soil is brill too..! ;-)
Just some comment from HS2 to what they are doing would be good. Even if it’s just a timetable that says it’s being done by a certain time. The lack of dates really holds up those working so hard at the trust.
It was arranged to see them working, I’ve caught them before but I knew serious work was going on, that’s why I was there. I was really good to see so much activity on one site.
Yes he does a good job with the Lichfield content, it’s always worth watching

I always look forward to your updates especially this particular canal, as you say the trust is very active.
I think they have work parties 7 days a week which is incredible for a volunteer trust!
@ Yes they are extremely lucky. I volunteer for a museum local to me as well as being full time employed elsewhere. It can be very difficult staffing with volunteers as often people are in the same position as myself which can be very difficult finding the time. Hats off to them all and yourself for making your many videos of this and other projects around the country.

Last time I was there a couple of years ago, the shiny new HS2 was ploughing through nearby farmland & the roads & old infrastructure next to it were literally falling apart.
Very odd priorities 😢
Most of the roads around it are temporary, they’ve been diverted for the works and built entire new lanes, the ones that are original are largely being rerouted once the work is done.
Great ...
Thanks
The "big pipe" has a been a feature, obstacle, or something unmentionable for a good few years. It will be good to see a final resolution to it.

Every time I drive along the M6 Toll I pass under the yet-to-be connected canal bridge over the motorway. Any idea when this section might be starting ?
That question can’t be answered yet, it’s on the other end to where the trust are working so not for a few years yet. You never know with the Lichfield though!
Our priority is at the Huddlesford end at the moment, so we can link up all the sections in water. But if an opportunity come our way.... 🙂

Excellent update. When do you think the canal the canal will reach the M6 Toll aqueduct?
Good question! The priority is on this end at the moment, there are some plans to move forward but they need to work with some landowners. I saw some ideas about putting a marina up that way in one of the current quarries, that would push things to open up. I reckon that end will open from the other end though and they will meet in the middle
We are concentrating on the other end at the moment, so we,can get as much in water as we can. But if an opportunity comes up to do something with the aqueduct, we'll grab it.

Hi doesn't it make you think how they dug out, built, manufactured the bricks , stone etc , built Bridge's, tunnels, retaining walls , Excavation and Haulage, transportation of materials etc,
They built brick works all along the canals, As they were building them, a lock used about 180,000 bricks and a bridge 30,000

@@malcolmrichardson3881 no not yet, although I think they should have a trip boat down at Darnford moors. I guess when this next 2 years is up and there’s a whole new section in water then it makes sense to run trips here as it’ll be 3/4 of a mile there compared to about 0.3 miles at Darnford moors
Yes, that makes more sense. Thanks!
@@malcolmrichardson3881 although if HS2 pulls it’s finger out there could be a connection to the Coventry canal so whichever comes first!

@ yet? …… 🤔😊
I took a walk along the old train line that runs parallel with part of the canal about 5 years ago.
We went down and spoke to the volunteers. Since then they may have got a lot done to the areas they were working on. But made no progress further up the canal what so ever. A false bridge was put in over the m6 toll around 20 odd years ago ready for the arrival of the project. And they are no where near it. I’m all for organisations that get enthusiastic people involved. But at the speed this project has gone and is going. It will probably take two life times to complete. As a local I’m excited the mothballed train track will be turned into a walk way from lich to chasewater. And it’s already going at great pace to making that happen with those volunteers. But the canal restoration is a doomed project in my opinion which is a great shame with the efforts of the volunteers
You do realise this is probably the fastest moving canal restoration in the country? The aqueduct was put in at a time when the trust were relatively small, they’ve grown now and the progress over the last 5 years has been massive, it’s still a way off of the aqueduct as they are focusing on the first half of the canal and will start that way once they’ve got about 3 1/2 miles connected to the main network
That’s fair enough and I’m glad the team has grown . And as someone who enjoys local history and the changing of networks and geography, I’d be happy to eat my words if I’m wrong!
What’s happening about getting under the Birmingham train line.
And also do they own the land the other side of the fosseway lane now?
@ the land is due to be given to them soon I think, it’s all in the developers hands until they pass it over which they are due to do.
The railway is probably being dealt with behind the scenes, the planning is all now approved for the bits up to it so there will be a team making a plan in the background, that’s a couple of years off as they have 18 months to 2 years for the bridges and locks up to gallows wharf. That would be in a planning with the St John’s section which is 2 lovks, 2 bridges (already built) and then the railway. The roundabout on the other side of the railway already has the tunnel under

Sorry I don’t understand your comment?
Wheres the canal start and finish. Will it join up to another canal ?
It links to the Coventry canal and Huddlesford junction then onto the wyrley and Essington at Ogley junction. It brings a load of dead end canals into a larger cruising loop and short cut across the top of the Birmingham network.
Are there any fish in parts yet
