Pelsall Canal Festival this weekend!

Posted on June 9, 2011 by BrownhillsBob

I notice from the excellent Chasewaterstuff Railway Blog that it’s Pelsall’s annual canal festival this weekend. This is a huge event, and well worth a look. I noticed yesterday that lots of boaters were heading that way through the Black country, so it’s set to be a great weekend. If you love the waterways, do pop alo

A veritable flotilla moored at Moxley yesterday afternoon. When asked, the boaters said they were heading to Pelsall.

    What’s this about them about to “trash the picturesque bridge by the pub”?

      There is a plan to replace York’s Bridge on Lime Lane by the pub with a new one. This has become a big issue as it’s considered to be to enable HGV’s to access any new opencast. Hence a rickety old bridge with nothing to commend it has suddenly become ‘picturesque’.

    The latest plan for York’s Bridge is to leave it in situ as a foot bridge & build a road bridge at the side. See here:- http://cms.walsall.gov.uk/index/transport-_and_streets/yorks-bridge.htm
