The Shrewsbury & Newport Canals Trust is a waterway society and a registered charity which exists to promote the restoration of the Shrewsbury Canal and the Newport Arm of the Shropshire Union Canal. The trust was created in 2000. In 1964, reports appeared in local newspapers that the British Waterways Board intended to drain part of the Newport Branch which had been officially closed since 1944. The North-Western branch of the Inland Waterways Association suggested that a local group should be set up to campaign for the restoration of the canal and the Shrewsbury and Newport Canal Association was formed in December 1964 to pursue that aim. Following the rejection of their initial plans, the group became the Shropshire Union Canal Society and then spearheaded the restoration of the Montgomery Canal which had also been part of the Shropshire Union network.
