Chester's Canal Age 28 January
January's talk was given to a packed hall by Ray Buss from the Chester Canal Heritage Trust. Ray, who is a keen canal boat owner, described the birth and development of the canal system through Chester and Cheshire. Ray's talk gave us a rich insight into the local economy and businesses, the canal people, and the infrastructure of boat builders, warehouses, locks, cuttings, bridges etc necessary to make the canal system a commercial success. An excellent evening!
