The Shropshire Union Canal Society (SUCS) has issued an update on its work on the Crickheath South section of the Montgomery Canal, with another milestone reached during work from August 16 to 18.

The group said that restoration of the Tramway Wharf Wall at Crickheath is now complete, describing the effort as "the end of an era".

With the work on the wall finished the group will say goodbye the dry-stone wallers who have worked on the project.

Starting in April last year SUCS has had support from members of the Dry-Stone Walling Association, who faced a number of challenges along the way.

During the most recent work the group was also joined by nine corporate volunteers from Practice Plan in Oswestry.
