Full Description
{1} Prior to the present embankment being built the canal followed a parallel line just to the west, with a flight of 4 or 5 locks. A plan from the British Waterways Museum confirms this arrangement. The change in alignment predates the unpublished OS mapping for this part of the county in c.1814. Much of the remaining line of the canal is occupied by good earthwork survival with substantial lengths of one or both of the canal-side banks surviving. Some of the lock sites are also discernable as earthworks.
