Our Canal Heritage, a gift from the past ... a present for the future

The HNBC is passionate about canal history and heritage. All around the system are fine examples of British engineering and technical prowess that are worth saving. From lofty aqueducts to amazing tunnels, elegant bridges, extensive reservoirs with ingenious water management systems and locks, beautiful warehouses and wharves – they all need our care and protection.
