The Shropshire Union Canal Society is one of many parties involved with waterways across the region. A list of our commercial members, canal societies, canal organisations and other related material is provided below.
Please note we are not responsible for the content of the websites linked here.
The current restoration of the Montgomery Canal also involves many parties. The canal is owned by the Canal and River Trust. There is a large umbrella grouping – the Montgomery Canal Partnership – which has representatives covering the full range of interests, including local authorities, conservation organisations and waterway groups. Those involved with Schoolhouse Bridge go under the banner ‘Restore the Montgomery Canal!’
