Shrewsbury's Canal Heritage
Shrewsbury and Newport Canal Trust is holding an exhibition at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings to celebrate the county's and particularly, Shrewsbury's canal heritage.
Through a variety of historic artefacts and displays, the exhibition showcases the history of the Shrewsbury & Newport Canals, their decline and the work by the trust and other organisations to highlight the importance of these canals, their history, the environment they create, and the benefits of their restoration.
The free exhibition will be open in The Dye House from 23 March 2024 until the 19 April 2024 inclusive, with opening times from 10:00 to 16:00. Please note, the exhibition will be closed 26 and 27 March.

These roles are supported through The National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
