max's son Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 “I Dig Canals” was a phrase used in the 1970s by canal supporters. The project is all about hearing and saving stories like these. On Sunday at 6pm on Alarum Productions will premiere a short film and book about saving our canals on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire~rose Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Just a quick bump for this thread. This is at 6pm today so you have just under an hour to finish what you are doing, find yourself a comfy chair and ensure your glass is full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire~rose Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 It was very good indeed. I think they plan to leave it on there so anyone who didn't tune in for the premier can still see it. Their podcasts are very good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max's son Posted May 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Good to see these unsung women recorded, my mum was given all kinds of jobs to do From looking after the boat even when stuck in a lock (Stourbridge 1961) or driving her minibus full of logs or old newspapers to raise money for the Droitwich Canals Looking at some of the pictures of canal digs I sure they are different today. spent many weekends in mud and even driving dump trucks at the age of 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
