A GROUP of volunteers has come together to restore a Radcliffe landmark. Headed up by Eric and Tracy Owen of Little Britain Anglers alongside Radcliffe Litter Pickers and using a grant from the Bury Community Fund, work has been taking place to spruce up the model of a canal barge on Water Street. The barge reflects Radcliffe’s heritage as a major stop on the The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal, which is now culverted under Water Street. “It has been repainted and flowers have been planted,” said Gill Smith, of Radcliffe Litter Pickers. “ A bridge has also been added so it looks like the barge is coming out of a tunnel.”

John Franklin, 78, died at Royal Bolton Hospital on December 17. Mr Franklin, who lived in Breightmet with wife Evelyn, gave his time to Bolton Conservation Group, The Wildlife Trust, and the Trust’s Men in Sheds group. The grandfather also founded Friends of Seven Acres. An inquest at Bolton Coroner’s Court yesterday heard how Mr Franklin had fallen onto a tree stump last November, and was hospitalised the following day with breathing difficulties. He was found to have three broken ribs and blood inside his lung cavity. Doctors performed a chest drain, removing just over a litre of blood. Mr Franklin was in a stable condition and after being observed for a couple of days was discharged on November 4.
