This is a group for the discussion of lost and historic waterways and also for the posting of attachments containing images and maps/diagrams of these waterways. Images and files may also be uploaded to the photo/file areas of the group website - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lost_waterways/ .

Current views and information on disused and derelict waterways are welcome as are any historic waterways images even if the waterway is in use today. The loss of waterways heritage has been a tragedy and often all that is left are photographs taken only a few years ago.

Images should not exceed 300kb and be no more than 1024 pixels along the longest side. Members are recommended not to use the digest function as this will preclude seeing any attached images.

Access details and grid references would be helpful but please note that intrusion onto private property is neither condoned or encouraged.

The group is open for information about canals and waterways in Great Britain and Ireland. It is a requirement of all members that they abide by the rules of copyright. No information (photos, diagrams or anything contained in emails posted to the group) can be published elsewhere without the permission of the group member/copyright holder. Please also acknowledge the group if permission to use any material is given.
