Leamington Canal Festival

[Heartland]

With all this doom and gloom about George Ward, perhaps it is time to reflect on other events. On the 24th and 25th of June there will be the Leamington Canal Festival near Ranelagh Terrace on the Grand Union Canal, which historians might know better as the Warwick & Birmingham Canal. This was also the site of canal carriers depot in the times' merchandise went by the cut.

Yes it is on the Warwick & Napton, which worked very closely with the Warwick & Birmingham
