Wey&Arun Canal Restoration
Recently, a lot of canals including locks are under construction as restoration in UK because of its decrepitude, new routes as follow as recent roads and restoration of historical canals that are not used today.
“Whenever a derelict canal is to be restored, the first practical job is to clear out and remove the growth of trees, bushes etc which have grown up during the period when the canal was neglected. This is often called 'jungle bashing' or 'jungle busting'. In the case of the Wey & Arun Canal the period of neglect had been well over a century.”
