Canal Restoration
Many of the hundreds of canal enthusiasts who helped prevent the destruction of our wonderful waterway system by the Government owe their enthusiasm to the late David Hutchings. He was a giant amongst men and inspired us all. I felt he should be recorded on the Droitwich Canal site as he was a great help to me in the early campaigning days.In this picture he is standing on the right in the newly built Harvington Lock on the River Avon which was shortly afterwards opened by the Queen Mum. He has a living memorial in the River Avon, the Stourbridge Canal and the Stratford upon Avon canal, and the thousands of holiday makers enjoying their boating. Max
