Big Dig
August 31 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Unlock Runcorn are happy to announce their first major public event since the pandemic. Earlier this year the charity successfully applied for an Area Forum grant from HBC to enable some limited archaeological excavations on the canal route.
On Saturday 31st August we will excavate with the aim of exposing some of the original canal structures where the two lines of locks met between the railway viaduct and Percival Lane in an area known as the “bull nose”.
As well as providing important information about the condition of the buried structures, this is a community event. We are looking for people to get involved. If you are 18 years or older, in good health and willing to wield a shovel then please get in touch. We will provide all the equipment & PPE. To get involved please contact finance@unlockruncorn.org in the first instance.
