Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Today the canal is once again navigable, and the towpaths that volunteers rebuilt now attract walkers and cyclists rather than the barges they were originally designed for.
- Over the following ten years, these volunteers cleared the channel by hand, rebuilt collapsed locks, and restored the towpaths that ran alongside the water.
- In the 1990s, a group of local volunteers petitioned the council to fund a full restoration rather than let the historic canal disappear entirely.
- Local authorities eventually closed the waterway altogether, and for the next three decades it sat abandoned, slowly filling with debris and invasive plants.
- By the 1960s, the Milbrook Canal had fallen into such disrepair that barges could no longer navigate its silted, overgrown channel.
