Pruned: Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal

(Wikipedia's entry on Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal is today's featured article. Now disused, mostly dried and infilled, this 15-mile long artificial river is just screaming out for an ideas competition. Image from John and Margaret Fletcher Collection, courtesy of Paul Hindle. Source.)

Maybe an ideas competition that Pruned and others can organize.

The logistics of organizing a public competition are too daunting for me to even imagine, so I think I prefer to post about the entries, both winners and non-winners.

Or answering the call for submissions, especially if the prize money is worth thousands and thousands of dollars! :-)

My husband is from M'chr and we'll be moving there shortly. I've not many contacts there yet, but I'll see what I can do when I get there.

If you can feed me any history or background info, this is Deena, author of the Sponge City article. You can reach me through the email address there.
