CREWE and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson called in at the Museum on September 10 and was given a tour of the Canals exhibition by the Curator, Anne Wheeler.

   This followed a visit to Nantwich Marina where he saw schoolchildren enjoying an open-air lesson based on canals and the canal fly boat Saturn, one of the Museum's workshops led by Community Learning Officer, Allison Kirk. Assisting her was Museum volunteer, Barrie Astbury.
