HISTORY: The scheme to construct Macclesfield Canal began in 1824 following six decades of proposals. Designed by engineer Thomas Telford it was built over a 7 year period, opening in 1831. The waterway, constructed by William Crosley connected Marple and Macclesfield plus the intermediate towns of Bollington and crosley.
At just over 26 miles in length, it included 13 locks along its journey.
The canal fell under ownership of the MSLR railway company in 1846 and was notably successful amongst other canals right until the mid 1950s.
Following the canal east to west, its route begins at Marple Junction, breaking off from the Peak Forest Canal, at a direct right angle under Lockside Bridge, and ends at Hall Green, connecting with the Trent and Mersey Canal, via a short branch. The canal also runs close alongside the former Marple to Stockport railway line for a large part of its length. The route includes 13 locks, 12 of which are in a flight - a three-quarter size version of the Peak Forest canal's equivalent. There is also a single step lock connecting at the western end.
Part of the Cheshire Ring canal network, Macclesfield Canal is one of the last canals built in the UK and is well maintained with several Grade II listed structures and a superb wharf at Marple. Also of note is the majestic Goyt Mill building at Bridge No3, with it's huge door hoist still in situ.

In the UK we have one of finest open garden schemes in the world.
At a QNI council meeting in 1926, council member Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district nursing through the nation's obsession with gardening. A year later the National Garden Scheme—affectionately known as the NGS—was founded and garden owners were asked to open their gardens for 'a shilling a head'. In 1927 the NGS got itself formally under way and it has raised tens of millions of pounds for many good causes.

Because of Covid-19 the scheme had to be suspended in 2020. However in 2021 it got back on track. The entry fee these days averages around £5 per person.
For the first time since 2019 we managed to find a garden that appealed to myself and my wife. The photographs in this album were taken in the London suburb of Harrow. Famous for its school—though that is over on Harrow-on-the-HIll, so a few miles away—we found this garden an absolute delight!
I’ve named it ‘Paradise Found’. One of the UK’s finest garden presenters, Alan Titchmarsh, says that owners of small gardens shouldn’t be afraid of bold planting with large trees and shrubs. And this garden demonstrates that, if you are brave enough, it can turn any garden into a paradise.
Brenda, the owner of the garden, moved to the house in 1994, but she didn’t really get started on the design until the turn of the 21st century.
Measuring thirty five metres long and about five or six metres wide, you meander through what I can only describe as a tropical oasis. Lots of varieties of flowers, mainly perennials with a mixture of grasses, flowers, palms, and other herbaceous shrubs.
With cleverly thought out use of ornaments, tables, chairs, benches and other objet d’art, it gives a great deal of pleasure to the eye! Ultimately it’s a calming garden. The owner has installed a lovely outdoor room that can be used throughout all of the seasons. It’s a quiet tranquil space that allows privacy and views of the garden whilst relaxing, either reading a book or magazine, or listening to the battery driven digital radio.
Further on down the garden walk she has a beautiful aviary full of exotic birds. And the sound of the birds was enchanting!
The photographs, I hope, will give the viewer some idea of the garden’s beauty. And I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Tuli Lushongwe Irrigation Scheme's drip irrigation scheme is set to be replaced with a less expensive system.
The European Union (EU) availed 6 million Euro support to assist improve income, food and nutrition security of small holder communal farmers involved in small scale irrigation in Zimbabwe.

The Industry Mentoring Scheme at London College of Communication aims to encourage and support postgraduate students in their transition from education to industry.
A series of engagement events have taken place in Hawick to get the community's input into the design of the scheme
Kilkenny Central Access Scheme (CAS), previously Kilkenny Inner Relief Road Scheme is a controversial new road, improvement of existing roads and junctions, and a new concrete River Nore bridge, with provisions for footpaths and cycle lanes throughout. CAS comprises 4.5 kilometers of single carriageway road that is 7.3 metres wide. The scheme is proving to be controversial as the route of the completed road will bring heavy traffic through residential areas, also the route will bring heavy traffic through the centre of medieval Irishtown section of the city.
The Inner Relief Road was first proposed in 1978 as a means of providing access to brewery traffic to the brewery itself, which has now closed. Kilkenny city is currently surrounded by two thirds of a ring-road and the completion of this ring-road is seen by some as a greater priority for alleviating Kilkenny's traffic problems as they stand. Kilkenny County Council remains resolved that progress in the CAS project should continue ahead of completion to the outer ring road.
Residents and and those who work in the locality have repeatedly expressed frustration with the ongoing works, traffic problems, and the level of communication with them.
As is always the case in Ireland people object to new infrastructure when it is too late to do so. During my visit to Kilkenny anyone that I spoke to had nothing good to say about the new bridge or the supporting infrastructure but not one person could actually explain why they had issues except to say that they felt that the bridge should have been located elsewhere.
I had hoped that the bridge would have been opened at the time of my visit but this was not the case. During my visit I discovered that there is no exact date yet confirmed for the official opening of the Central Access Scheme, although the council says it is likely to be early May.
The name of the new bridge has yet to be decided, but council’s naming and memorial committee is due to meet in the coming days. The issue is likely to be on the agenda at the next monthly meeting of Kilkenny County Council.
Meanwhile, a number of local roads around the Central Access Scheme will be temporarily closed in the coming days, for final works as the project nears completion.
