Exploring the Cannock Extension Canal
Cannock Extension Canal rediscovered
Feb 2020
I published three YouTube videos on the long lost Cannock Extension Canal last month, collating loads of old photos I have found into the sequence in which they would have been encountered had you traveled the canal 60 years ago.
