Book excerpt: What is now known as the Montgomery Canal - running from the Llangollen Canal at Welsh Frankton near Ellesmere in Shropshire and through the Border Country into Wales through Welshpool to Newtown - was built as three schemes, completed in 1819. Initially very successful, traffic dwindled and it was closed by a burst in 1936. Officially abandoned in 1944 it lay partially derelict. Passing through outstanding rural scenery it was in effect a 'sleeping beauty'. In 1968 enthusiasts of the Shropshire Union Canal Society, assisted by those of the Inland Waterways Association, started a campaign to restore its 35-mile length, not only lobbying those in authority but physically working on the canal.The author, a past society chairman, is one of the people that initiated that campaign and has been involved ever since as a trustee of the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust. His participation enables him to provide an almost unique photographic record in The Montgomery Canal Through Time, including visits by famous people such as HRH The Prince of Wales who have officially reopened sections and backed the work as this high-profile restoration project continues.

Book excerpt: In the early 1960s, architect and visionary Clarence Kettler and his brothers, Milton and Charles, dreamed of building a unique new town modeled after a European planned community. This town would be family oriented and would emphasize recreation with open space and a sense of community. With careful planning, their vision, which included schools, places of worship, a golf course, shopping areas, and recreational amenities, was realized--Montgomery Village. Over time, as the Village grew, farms were replaced by well-manicured residential areas and mature trees. Each community adheres to architectural standards and community covenants set by the developers to help maintain continuity and home values. Today, more than 40,000 people call Montgomery Village home. Montgomery Village takes pride in its active volunteers, parks, and recreational facilities and its commitment to maintain and enhance the natural environment and coexist with our many species of wildlife. Though no longer a new town, the Village continues to serve as an admirable and viable model for communities everywhere. The year 2011 marks Montgomery Village's 45th anniversary.
