Pictures of Stroudwater Canal between Lockham Aqueduct and A38


The section of the 1779 canal is still in water and is used by fishermen. A section between the Frome at the site of Lockham Aqueduct and the culverted Stonepitts swing bridge was dredged in the spring of 1999 by the Cotswold Canals Trust.
