ANATOMY OF A RESTORATION The Grantham Canal Society has benefitted from support from local IWA branches, including crossover of members, some practical help and provision of funds.
An IWA legacy to the amount of ÂŁ100,000 was given in 2010 when the wall of Lock 18 collapsed.
Roy Sutton, IWA honorary engineer, advised on how best to plan for and tackle the restoration of Lock 18.
IWA has offered support putting together a successful bid from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Association has arranged insurance for Grantham Canal Society’s equipment and buildings.
