Wappenshall Junction Restoration 2024

- Ten years ago, I made a documentary about an abandoned canal in Shropshire that was thought impossible to return to water. The Shrewsbury and Newport Canals Trust didn't agree and started work to return the navigation to its former glory.
I return a decade later to see what progress they have made. I meet Bernie Jones, the chairman of the trust, at Wappenshall Junction to explain all.

Amazing what people can do when they come together.
And have a good old protest !
@@phillipcarter8045Remove all these corrupt politicians and people who are pushing this Great Reset agenda comes to my mind.
I love this Richard, it reminds us of our amazing heritage and to be proud of our achievements.
I think we need more restored canals and mariners with cheap rent ,it would help with the housing crisis ,and give people a nice place to live ✌️
I am sure you know my interest in canals and the old structures associated with canals, and it is so great to see these projects. Thank you for bringing it to all of us.
My Dad lived in Shropshire...loved walking along the canals
That's great Richard I live in Ipswich Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 our heritage buildings in town are being demolished absolutely a shame beautiful buildings that can never be seen again such architecture
I really love the idea of looking after old buildings and structures, rather than abandoning them. Too much of that has happened in the past. I love being around canals, remembering the hard work men had to create them and the workers who carried goods along the various canals. Our history in tangible form. 👍
I grew up in Ireland and spent many wonderful summer's on the canals.
This was great thanks so much..💜🙏
I watched all of this and enjoyed seeing how volunteers can make such a difference. Well done to them all, and to you for sharing this video about the project.
This is right up my street, restoration is my thing, thanks for the content Richard.
It’s absolutely wonderful to see people taking pride and restoring our heritage it’s so important for all countries to preserve and keep our difference uniqueness makes a nation proud of our art skills and culture!!!
What an amazing project. I have a cruiser on the river but the canals are an amazing system that we MUST cherish
Love these out door videos Richard.
What a lovely result from all the hard work! Well done all those who helped with this! 👏👏👏
Bloody heck you can see my house from there lol looking forward to seeing the cafe open
Amazing work, I look forward to it being open 🌈✨
Well done on the update Richard , and a very well done to all the hardworking volunteers. Also I should mention the many people who donate money to help finance this work. I know from the time our boat was moored there , that Norbury Wharf marina are supporting this project.
An excellent video Richard
Hi Richard, thanks for the wonderful update and for pointing me in the direction of the original video you did in 2018. When I watched that one I thought the following year's "problems" would impacted on the situation. However, it was good to see they're making headway! I think that cafe will look lovely once it is finished! Brilliant drone footage too btw. Thank you. 👍🙂
Another “ wonderful” interview Love these Richard
You are back in your element Richard, lovely video look forward to more.🇳🇿❤
Beautiful to see
Amazing dedicated work by volunteers. Thank you Richard for bringing this piece of history to our attention. We are surrounded by canals near us and we enjoy running and visiting much welcome cafes along ours such as Sowerby Bridge and Upper Mill along with Hebdon Bridge where the mill houses an Archimedes wheel one of two near us. Yes get the ☕ part open first my priority on a project.
Thank you. ❤
Thanks
Why do buoldings of the past seem so much better. Have character and love.
Because people cared and had pride in their skills 😊
They placing bollards, in high streets now . 🚧 🚧 🚧 .
Because they were trained in architecture and understood style. Now, it's only soulless construction "all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same."
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 Nowadays, buildings with flat roofs are everywhere, visually cutting off the earth from the sky . . .
Loved your visit with your friend, Richard that was awesome..
That was lovely! I hoPe they use your film in their café.
LET'S REPAIR OLD WORLD GOD BLESS
Richard, I hope you offered them free use of any video you have of the renovation. You never know, you may have some that they need or want to use.
Bureaucracy. Like maintaing the heritage by proper submissions
Oh Richard it's 'Shroosbury'! I'm a S&NCT member btw and it's good to have you back
I do hope that when people are applying for their permits to leave their areas once agenda 2030 is in place will carefully consider where they wish to visit and ensure that all these amazing places get seen. Our heritage is so beautiful and so important to remember what has been before and how its been changed both for the better use and and looks. I live in Shropshire so would like to pop to see this once it's finished. Unfortunately it's further than 15mins from my home but I will make sure one permit allows me to visit. ❤
This is near where I live!
Such intonation and delivery
Open to the public so an admission fee then.... Lets hope all the money gets ploughed back in.... Tony cuenca
Amazing people, great work. Why are the arts and heritage being so poorly funded.
I hope the canal will be restored one day too...
Too late, lads. Should've started with Birmingham and Bradford. There'll be a curry shop on that canal soon.
And sewage . 😊
Very good, how long will it take to open this up from Newport to Shrewsbury?
Now this is more like it ! No antivax/chemtrails/false man-made global warming/chemtrails etc, just a very interesing and positive video, Thx.
Likely won't get as many views as all the doom and gloom though. Depends what one wants!
A farm shop, that's what's needed....
I cant imagine to dedicate so much effort into a site, that is so off the network. If im right, they have 15km to norbury junction, that will be the next 2-3 decades.
Have you read Real England by Paul Kingsnorth? It’s worth a read.
💚💙💜
You ever going to finish the Sussex border Walk
Had a quick look video. It's almost as if RV has had a time slip and is doing his old content again. Unfortunately, he keeps changing content and now his current subscriber base isn't interested in his original stuff. "Where's the flat earth content gone?", they shout. Good to see an effort being made into making a video again though. It seems to have been a while away. If he started a new channel for his farm and basically posts trailers for it on this one, he'll get only the most interested subscribers to help the algo. Posting on this channel is probably doomed to failure because 95% won't be interested and growth will be poor, I think he could have a very successful smallholding channel if it's on its own channel and only that content and is well filmed. Looking forward to seeing it.
Health & EFFIN' SAFETY! ??? .... The Cancer of the Construction Industry ..... The Mere MENTION of that phrase makes Me Physically VOMIT!! ......
What made you think they might be gypsies? Richard.
Richard, I love you dearly, but it's time to educate the people of the United Kingdom. I am English I was born in England Bristish is FOREIGN that is why we have a British Parliament who have NO Loyalty to us the people of England. England should have a English Parliament again, we had one which was in YORK . The Scottish, Welsh and Irish have their own Parliament so why can't we .
At last a non political video again….. this is what you definitely do best, wonderful production , excellent vision, and perfect presentation . The real Richard Vobes returns ?
This is more like it Mr. Vobes...Far, far more interesting than your previous click bait videos banging on about vaccinations, lock downs, 5G, evil of the internet, TV, and other la-la theories.
What about Martian canals lol
YOU'RE HOUSE IS YOUR CASTLE HINT HINT
Richard, please go down the "flat earth" rabbit hole. We want to hear your thoughts. Because the flat earth circumstantial evidence is growing exponentially. For instance... ask any pilot.

In 1963 the saucepan lids took Pronunciation and Grammar off the schools curriculum. We've now got to the point where people cannot write at all, and use tiny pictures instead that nobody else understands, except themselves. I despair, I really do. Come on people, smarten up your act so you can communicate in the real world. Instead of children's hieroglyphics. You're better than this.
Something missing.....voice.
Richard , come and make a video in The Colne Valley . This area is faced by many problems , could do with some awareness . It's all we have got in terms of local countryside here to the west of Greater London
