Welcome to our New Website
Leeds and Liverpool Canal Society Website
Welcome to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Society Website. The last year has been a difficult one for the Society. With no canal festivals, no school visits and no open days, it has been hard for us to spread our message celebrating the heritage of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. But we haven’t been idle.
Looking forward to being back
Looking Forward
We are looking forward to being back in action, however currently we do not know what restrictions we will be operating under for the rest of this season and for the foreseeable future. In preparation for a resumption of Kennet being open to the public we are currently revising the displays contained in the hold.
However – for the Time Being
For the Time Being
Although we are currently unable to utilise heritage boat Kennet, we will continue to spread our message, celebrating the heritage of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at every available opportunity.
