Celebrities explore renovated canal

Two of Britain’s best loved actors followed in the wake of a pair of Hollywood stars when they enjoyed the pleasures of Shropshire’s canal life.

Prunella Scales and Timothy West

When they have precious time off, husband and wife actors Timothy West and Prunella Scales are renowned for liking nothing better than escaping to their narrowboat and the “instant countryside” of the canals.

The confirmed waterways enthusiasts were in Shropshire at the weekend to visit the Montgomery Canal and see for themselves the ongoing restoration work.

Mrs Scales, best known as Basil Fawlty’s wife Sybil in Fawlty Towers, said she loved the peace and quiet of the canals.
