Canal film from the mid 70s

Will be of particular interest to anyone familiar with Wigan and surrounding area.

There are also a couple of shots of Kennet when working on maintenance. I suspect the film was the result of Marilyn Freear and Marilyn Summner's educational work at Wigan Pier as the did a considerable amount of research for the local canal history booklets they produced for teachers.
