Do you have any skills that could help us move closer to our goal of restoring the walls of Terminus Bridge at Paulton end of the Somersetshire Coal Canal?

We are looking for skilled and unskilled help to boost progress on this critical piece of restoration. We are really keen to complete the walls, but with only one (excellent) person working on it, it’s proving difficult. Ideally we would have stonemasons, bricklayers and/or general builders helping out – for one day only! We also need unskilled help to support the bridge builders and to speed things up.

In return for 3 hours of your time on Sunday 13th April 2025 (10am-1pm) we invite you to join us for a drink afterwards at The Red Lion in Paulton. We will provide a drink and some food (plus a delicious slice of cake from local cake maker Fairy Cake House) for your efforts! If we can get a large group of people, we could smash this next stage, which will allow us to put the next stretch of the canal back into water.

Please consider coming to help, even if you think you might not have the right skills, we have plenty to do and it’s all in the name of helping your local community. If any businesses think they might be able to help too, we’d love to hear from you!

Meeting Location: Paulton Dry Dock, next to Paulton Basin.
