- In May 2023 H&GCT got part of the canal cut at Malswick in water.
See • Malswick. May 2023. ... for details.
This video covers the second phase. Digging a further section of the new cut to full depth and width, and using the extracted material to raise the embankment over the low-lying ground to link up with the section of canal currently in water.

Erratum.
The caption at 06:20 is in the wrong place. It refers to the loose clay in the bottom of the cut at the low point of the small culvert, visible at 07:30, 12:03 and other places within the video.
I just found this channel through watching Lichfield and Hatherton Canal videos.
Great to have another canal restoration channel to watch.
Thank you. I've recently discovered Lichfield and Hatherton Canal through comments such as yours. It is good to see that canal restoration is thriving in different parts of the country. Mark
Keep them coming!😀
So lucky to have clay type soil that will hold the water. You must be saving a fortune on liners. Looking forward to seeing the canal progress.
Thank you. Yes, we are lucky. We have dug test pits along the next part and the soil there is different. We hope to have enough clay left over to use as a liner where we need to.
This is great another part of the canal done, just recently discovered the H&G Canal on youtube and look forward to more updates as the canal progresses, what I love about the canal's not only they're good for people to use , but also with the tow paths become walking / running places for local community and also great habitat for animals & aquatic species and of course Birds.
It is very much our intention to create a wildlife corridor and leisure facility for the local community.
