Canal enthusiasts and historians hope that a long lost branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal could once again see the light of day.
The Ince and Strangeways Branch left the Wigan lock flight and ran in a south-easterly direction through Ince to a terminal basin serving collieries at Strangeways, on the edge of Hindley. A meeting is being organised for those from various organisations who are interested in forming a campaign group to promote and restore the branch.
