A message from our Chairman Dan Cross 

The River Weaver is Cheshire’s hidden Gem, a glorious and scenic waterway cutting right through the heart of the Cheshire countryside while it’s history and architecture remind us of it’s once important status as a commercial waterway.

I grew up and worked on the weaver and am delighted that thanks to the co-operation and determination of the Canal & River Trust in dredging the waterway, we are able to bring the Daniel Adamson up the river to Acton Bridge for the Little Leigh Steam Party.

Bringing up to one hundred passengers into the heart of Cheshire is a vital step in what we hope will become a regular cruising ground for the Daniel Adamson, which we believe to have never navigated the Weaver before and a fitting cruise to mark the completion of the near £3Million re-fit of the vessel, made possible by the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund, over one hundred thousand hours of work by our volunteers and donations in cash and kind from many other bodies and organisations since 2004.
