Ever wondered what that enormous pipe is doing running through the Lichfield Canal restoration site — and why it hasn’t been ripped out? A brand new video from our ambassador Steve Court reveals all.

With clear explanations, stunning visuals, and a real passion for the project, this is a must-watch for anyone curious about our work, canal engineering, local history, or the future of green infrastructure in Lichfield.
