Present and Future
To help with the unending task of repairing and maintaining the Society's wooden boat fleet, Tameside Council made available a piece of land to serve as a boatyard. Heritage Lottery funding was obtained, and the 80-foot (24 m) boatyard frontage will be completed. Future plans include the erection of a Visitor and Education Centre from which visitors and school students will be able to observe the restoration work on the narrowboats.
