Pete's Montgomery Canal Photo-site

THE MONTGOMERY CANAL
Pete’s Montgomery Canal Photo-site

My original aim in constructing the photo-site was to share with you a selection of the many photo's that I took during restoration work on the Montgomery Canal – Frankton to Queens Head sections.

As a result of popular demand , I extended the site to cover the whole of the canal from Frankton to Newtown including un-restored and partially restored sections. As changes occur, and information comes to hand, I will add to and update each section.

The Navigable restored section connected to the mainline :-
Lies between Frankton Locks and Redwith ( open and navigable as far as Gronwen Wharf ).

The Navigable restored section NOT connected to the mainline :-
Lies between Arddleen and Berriew.

Unrestored and Part restored sections :-
Cover the remainder of the canal between its junction with the mainline at Frankton Locks and its original destination of Newtown in Mid Wales (these also include nature reserves both on and off line).

Photo-site pages are numbered below as sections.
