Much of original Canal to Bury still in place with historic and interesting features. Restoration is large undertaking, requiring major investment. However, development opportunities exist at Salford end of Canal. Renewed interest by BW, LAs and voluntary sector in study of costs and benefits of complete restoration to assess whether greater priority should be accorded to this is welcome
