One part of the restoration that sneaked in was the replacement of the washed away Ynysbwllog aqueduct which was built and opened in 2008 without anybody been told. On any other restoration this would have been publicised to the hilt! (It was probably because no-one could spell it)

interestingly the Thames and Severn locks were shortened by moving in the top cill rather than moving the bottom gates which I thought would be easier! photo taken on the Golden Valley flight

Tim Lewis replied to Stroudwater1's topic in General Boating
Pete stare in the HNBC magazine that his involvement took place over six weeks The HNBC newsletter article mentions this at length, the film crew had to make a battery lit porthole which was stuck on with masking tape as Pete would not let the drill a hole in the cabin for the original one they wanted to use -
Seem to recall that the locks on the Thames and Severn canal were originally longer that those on the Stroudwater Navigation so Wallbridge could have been a Transshipment point! I believe that the T& S locks were eventually shortened to match those on the Stroudwater
