Stratford-upon-Avon Canal Society

The aim of the society is to conserve the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal and promote its fullest use. Our objects include promoting the fullest use, maintenance and improvement of all inland waterways of Great Britain, and in particular the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal.

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal Society was formed in 1956 with the main aim of securing the future of the southern section of the canal from Lapworth to Stratford. With the help of other interested groups this was achieved in 1964 with the re-opening of the section to navigation, by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. From this time the Society has maintained a watch over all the canal from Kings Norton to Stratford and has helped, practically and financially, with many different projects, from basic hedge trimming to weir building and other constructional works.
