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 PCCG comprises 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 web site and on our Facebook group page. For a more frequent updates on ongoing works please visit our Facebook page.
We have been working hard since the summer on re-setting and rebuilding the lock staircases between locks 31 and 32. 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 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 some 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 details and we will contact you.
Notice:
Sadly on Thursday 13th September, our Treasurer and fellow volunteer Vic Pearce sadly passed away. Vic was an ever present figure at the locks and carried out a huge amount of work behind the scenes as well as on site. This he did with his usual style and humour and his energy and drive was an inspiration to us all. He was a dear friend and will certainly be missed but not forgotten.
