Title: Terminus of Sharpness Canal at Gloucester Docks, Gloucestershire [Go to resource]
Description: The canal was authorised in 1793, but was not completed due to a shortage of funds. It was restarted from 1817 with government money, largely to relieve unemployment, and opened in 1827. The canal was built to ship standard, which ensured its longevity. Subjects: Gabled Roof
