Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Oxford Canal east of Rugby, Warwickshire The typical brick bridge (No 68 counting from Hawkesbury Junction) allows the farmers to have access to fields on both sides of the canal. The designated recreational path known as the "Oxford Canal Walk" now tries to encourage more people to make use of the towpath. http://www.waterscape.com/things-to-do/walking/routes/230/oxford-canal-walk
The Oxford Canal was authorised as early as 1769, and James Brindley devised a meandering course hugging contours wherever possibe. He died in 1772, and Samuel Simcock completed the task, but by the late 1820s, a considerable straightening of the course was engineered which cut many miles from the length of the canal. |
