Restoration of the Middle Basin at Sea Lock

The Rolle Canal and Northern Devon Waterways Society has been successful in obtaining a £12,000 grant from the Association of Industrial Archaeology (AIA) for the restoration of the Middle Basin of the Rolle Canal at Sea Lock, Annery. An additional £1,277 has been allocated to the project from the Societies own funds.
 
The money is for the purchase of materials, plant hire, PPE and tools - all labour will be provided by a dedicated team of volunteers at no cost to the Society.

This project has been supported by a restoration grant from the Association for Industrial Archaeology. 

The work will be supervised and managed by a Project Team made up of:

                                                         Adrian Wills  as Project Manager
                                                         Ian Harrison as Society Chair
                                                         Tony Barnes as Treasurer of the Society
                                                         Mike Elliott  
                                                         Tony Nicholls

The project will be commencing in the near future. We will be providing regular reports here and on Facebook as the work proceeds.
 
The Society is very grateful to the AIA for their support.
