Dredging kicks off on Grand Union Canal in Solihull April 19, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The Canal & River Trust is kicking off a five month dredging project that will improve a section of the 220 year old Grand Union Canal at Catherine De Barnes between Henwood and Tyseley in the county of West Midlands, UK.
The work involves dredging sections of the canal and installing steel piles along the edge of the towpath making it easier for boaters to navigate and moor.
“Using a long reach excavator, our team will remove mud and silt from the bottom of the canal which has built up over the years. Around 10,000 tons of silt is expected to be removed,” said Canal & River Trust in the release.

There’s 300 acres of countryside and outdoor terraces overlooking magnificent grounds at The Grove hotel - which has just undergone a substantial makeover. With dishes from award-winning chefs, dine on The Glasshouse terrace with views of the formal gardens and enjoy the Estate to Plate à la carte menu; or overlook the golf course with a light bite and a refreshing cocktail on The Stables terrace. Alternatively find a place in the acres of grounds and relax in a sunny spot with one of the hotel’s picnic baskets. Afterwards walk off a few of the calories with a wander through the formal gardens, woodlands and kitchen garden.
