 Stafford Riverway Link Exhibition – Perton Library
Available to view Monday 20 January (pm) until Saturday 15th February ( at 2pm) (during normal library opening hours)
The Exhibition is organised by the Stafford Riverway Link (SRL) and includes a selection of artefacts unearthed by SRL volunteers while clearing and excavating the site of the Stafford Branch Canal at Baswich where the navigation left the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal close to St Thomas Bridge (Bridge 101).
Many of the items can be attributed to the former inhabitants of the Lock House and others may have been discarded when the navigation was open.
The waterway, also known as the River Sow Navigation, was in use from 1816 until the 1920s, and the Lock House was occupied until 1956. The group that was to become the SRL was founded in 1997 and aims to restore the 1½ mile navigation into Stafford.
The display also gives some information about the Lock Keepers and their wives and asks members of the public looking at the exhibition whether they are related to these folk.
Further information about the Stafford Riverway Link is to be found on their website: www.stafford-riverway-link.co.uk
 We all want to help our kids progress, but it’s not always easy to know how. Spending time together helps their development, helping them learn to communicate, build confidence and make friends.
