The restoration will cover a missing section of the canal starting at Crickheath, south of Oswestry, and running south to Arddleen in Wales, where it will connect with an existing section of the canal.

So far, over 10,000 pints have been sold resulting in a significant amount of cash donated to the restoration fund. However, the canal society needs around £600,000 to fund the works, so if you come across Monty’s Navigation Pale Ale in a pub near you, please have a pint or two!

For more information on the Navigation Pale Ale, see the Monty’s website. For information on the canal and the restoration project, please see the Shropshire Union Canal Society’s restoration page on their website. Below is an interesting Youtube video detailing what the restoration involves:
