From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To-do list for Thames and Medway Canal:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Dung Wharf, Higham find non-© version of diag showing railway on stilts ditto Strickland canal-only diag find orig (Gutenberg) sources of quotes? Not on Gutenberg - Uni of Kent has copy of Orr decide what goes here, what under Higham? All canal & tunnel here; minor mention and x-ref from Higham. tidal differences-> pump, locks? true dimensions? Gravesham's leaflet on canal [1] give: "26.5 feet (9.6m) wide including the towpath. The tunnel is 2.5 miles (4.5km) long." Used 1826 Strickland diag. check hist of roof falls, hole in orchard Look up Acts of Parl: 1800,1804 and 1810 * Rationalise metric/imperial (go for imperial as main, as original canal + current boats measured in this?)

[edit] Is it now a railway tunnel?

is this the same tunnel which is now used to link strood train station with higham or is this another tunnel. i don't know why but i always thought that that tunnel was once a canal but i could be wrong Pratj 14:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
