Cheshire Locks Workparty

The location will still be Lock 41.

Parking info – I have got permission from Jenna (the landlady of the Blue Bell) for us to use the pub car park for easy access to Lock 41. It can be accessed from the A50 through Kidsgrove. By Sat Nav use postcode ST7 1EG.

If you’re travelling from Crewe/Alsager, take the A50 (Liverpool Road West) to Kidsgrove until you get to Red Bull traffic lights at the crossroads with the A34. Carry on over the lights until you get to the next set of traffic lights at which point turn right into Hardingswood Road. After about 100 yards cross over the narrow canal bridge and turn immediately left. The entrance to the car park is on the right by the Blue Bell Inn.

If you’re travelling from Congleton, take the A34 through Scholar Green until you reach the Red Bull traffic lights, where you turn left onto the A50 (Liverpool Road East) and then follow the directions above.

We will meet as usual at 10-00 a.m. and work through until 3-00 p.m. If you are able to stay all day , please bring a packed lunch and a drink. Be sure to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and marked with paint. Stout footwear is appropriate and bring along a waterproof in the event of rain.
