The Pontypridd Canal Conservation Group was formed in  2010 and has been steadfastly working towards the restoration of the only remaining double-lock system on the Glamorganshire Canal. The group comprises of those from the Pontypridd area with an interest in the restoration and also supporters from the wider canal community, including those with specialist knowledge.

Developments are publicised in this website and on our Facebook group page. For a more frequent updates on ongoing works please visit our Facebook page. 


​We have been working hard over recent years on re-setting and rebuilding the lock staircases between locks 31 and 32. Before closing the site over the Christmas period, we finally completed the reconstruction of the west staircase on lock 32 with only the pointing remaining to be done. For those of you who have maybe visited the site, you may have noticed that a significant amount of mortar pointing has also been done elsewhere. There are still a number of vacant positions to be filled. In particular we are looking for persons who will be able to assist us with the administrative work of the group, particularly on the social media side. If you are interested or would like additional information about the group or the work of the committee, please get in touch by email with your preferred contact method and we will contact you.


Support us

We no longer operate a fee paying Membership fee. Instead we have launched a 'friends of' approach which you can register your support for the group via our Facebook page.

Our policy is to make our 'friends' membership an all inclusive experience and we are always keen to welcome new volunteers and friends to our group. We would welcome any assistance or support you are able to give especially behind the scenes or with the working party on site.
