Working to preserve Hanwell locks
IWA West London Branch volunteers spent a day clearing vegetation from coping stones and the edge of the Hanwell Flight along the Grand Union Canal in November. The work will allow for further vegetation clearance work to happen over the winter months.
IWA’s West London Branch is working in partnership with Canal & River Trust to maintain the Hanwell Flight. The Hanwell Flight is a Scheduled Ancient Monument consisting of six locks and system of side ponds on the Grand Union Canal in London.
Branch members run monthly work parties along this stretch of canal to help ensure this ancient monument doesn’t deteriorate any further. New volunteers are welcomed – more details at waterways.org.uk/westlondon
