Ellesmere Yard has stood serving this part of of Britain’s canal network for over 200 years, a place where engineering excellence and craftsmanship shaped the waterways we know today.
Now, thanks to support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the site is entering an exciting new chapter—one that balances its historic significance, operational role, and potential for public access and community use.
Our public consultation is live and we’d love to hear from you! Whether you have a personal connection to the Yard, are passionate about heritage, or simply want to see this historic site thrive, your input will be invaluable.
