About our cause

This wonderful project will be a massive boost to the biodiversity along the 24.75 miles of the 2 canals. Stretching from Shrewsbury across Shropshire to Norbury Junction in Staffordshire. As well as bringing more tourists to aid businesses along its length.

WE'VE DONE SO MUCH MORE!!  After many years hard work by our WONDERFUL volunteers the NEW CAFE, 'THE WELLDECK AT WAPPENSHALL' opened in January 2026. Its open on Saturdays and Sundays 10am until 2pm currently.  A new car park has been laid so we hope to see many of our supporters there.  it is another massive achievement that has been greatly helped by our TWINCL supporters. A big thank you to you all.  There is still so much more to do, work has now begun on the large warehouse' so your continued support is vitally important to us.  

As well as buying TWINCL tickets many of our supporters have actually joined our volunteers in one or more of our many locations in Shrewsbury, Berwick Wharf, Roddington, Telford, Newport or Norbury. If you would like to get involved with volunteering please let me know.  Any enquiries can be sent to me at [email protected].  You can also find me with a bric-a-brac stall on most Saturdays at Norbury Junction. Every penny goes to the SNCT funds.

Please come and see us at the new cafe, we think you'll love the choice of food and hot or cold drinks.

We are very proud to be winners of the prestigious QAVS (Queens Award for Voluntary Service) given for all the time and effort put in by our many volunteers.

We still need your help to restore our Grade II listed 1835 warehouse..  The support of the public and our members using TWINCL has been truly wonderful, we can't thank you enough. 

This was just part of the first phase on this site.  We have also built the stable block. And the restoration of the 3 storey 'transhipment' warehouse has begun. Also  the creation of a 'rolling' museum dedicated to the great man our town is named after Thomas Telford. Want to see more?

Take a virtual tour and see the warehouses and east basin before all the work on it began at:

By joining TWINCL you have helped us to provide both a cafe and meeting rooms available for the use of local people and businesses in this beautiful, tranquil and historic location.  In the future we hope to have 2 x c1936 canal boats: which we are currently restoring at Norbury Junction; in the rewatered basin where they can be used as classrooms for the local schools and exhibits for the museum.

We hope that many you managed to visit and enjoy our Canal Festival at Norbury Junction last May.  This years event will as usual be over the 3 days of the May day bank holiday.

You can visit our website at www.sncanal.org.uk

If you haven't already got your TWINCL tickets there is no time like the present. Gey them now and start supporting us straight away.

Ultimately our aim is the restoration of both canals joining Norbury Junction on the Shropshire Union canal to Shrewsbury via Newport and Telford providing us with all the health benefits associated with being by water and in great outdoors.

Thank you so much for your highly valued support and good luck in the lottery. Our supporters have already won over £8200's. Why not join them, you could be the one to win £25,000.

Hope to see you soon at THE WELLDECK AT WAPPENSHALL.

Yours sincerely
