Gloucester Docks &
the Sharpness Canal

Saul 2007

The 11th annual Saul Canal Festival with Folk on the Water, due to be held over the weekend 29 June to 1 July, had to be cancelled because key parts of the site were flooded just as preparations were getting underway. This page shows three photos taken on 25 June when the difficult decision to cancel had to be made.
