Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal Society

Welcome to the official home of the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal Society. In 1987 the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal Society was formed and has cleared some parts of the canal, and towpath. The Society has tried to have the line of the canal protected by objecting to planning applications where the line of the canal would be affected and ensured that the local authorities protected the line of the canal in their Unitary Development Plans.
