Galton's Canal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galton's Canal was a 1 mile 3 furlong canal with one lock connected to the River Brue, built in about 1801. The canal took its name from its financer, Mr E Galton, who had the canal built in order to transport silt for fertiliser. The canal was abandoned in 1897.
