Discussions are continuing regarding the restoration of Frodsham Lock to navigation.

 

Completed projects

Volunteers researched the whereabouts of existing and lost boundary markers and mileposts along the banks of the River Weaver. The exhibition of the results of their work was displayed in Runcorn Library Co-op supermarket in Frodsham, Tesco supermarket in Northwich and Winsford Library. This project was funded by the Local Heritage Initiative ( part of the Heritage Lottery Fund administered by The Countryside Agency ).
