Cheshire Locks Working Party

The location will still be Lock 53 (Thurlwood Upper), the same as November. All that remains to be done on the lock is black and white Sadolin painting on the woodwork. However, there is still a lot of fence work to be done!

Parking infoLock 53 can be accessed ON FOOT via Farams Road, Rode Heath (Bargain Booze shop is on the corner). Parking usually available at the kerbside between Bibby Street and Farams Road on your left on the A533 Sandbach Road when travelling from Kidsgrove or Alsager via Church Lawton traffic lights into Rode Heath. (N. B. – Residents only parking in Farams Road ).

Alternatively, park on the Broughton Arms car park, cross the canal bridge and a walk of approx. 250 yds to access the lock from the towpath.

Toilet facilities are available at nearby Broughton Arms just a bit further up the canal.

We will meet as usual at 10-00 a.m. and work through until 3-00 p.m. If you are able to stay all day , please bring a packed lunch and a drink. Be sure to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and marked with paint. Stout footwear is appropriate and bring along a waterproof in the event of rain.

John Lawson and myself will lead the work party (Contact Nos. 07940 878923 / 07708 320470  respectively).  We very much look forward to welcoming as many of you as are able to attend.
