Description

The Thames and Severn Canal walls between Tarlton Bridge and the south entrance of Sapperton Canal Tunnel are a stretch of disused canal measuring about 370 meters. Built around 1789 and engineered by Robert Whitworth, the canal walls have been restored in the late 20th century. The walls are curved and feature a render over brick and stone, including a passing place near the tunnel entrance. At the time of the survey in May 1985, the canal had been cleared and contained a low level of water. This section is known as Kings Reach, named after a visit by George III in July 1788.
