The Gloucester to Hereford canal at Withington just outside Hereford in the UK. The canal was granted permission to be built in 1791 and work stsrted in 1793. It reached Newent in just two years in 1795, but didn't reach Ledbury until 1832. It was finally completed to Hereford in 1845 an was closed after a mere 36 years in operation. This was mainly due to the railways proving such a strong competitor being quicker cheaper in most cases and reliable. This was true of a great many canals of the period and in fact the railway companies bought a lot of the competing canals, filled them in and built their railways on top. This was the case for this canal and the canal suffered the indignity of being used for the transport of railway building materials in the early stages. Withington where we are today boasted a wharf and a lot of the buildings here were built to serve the people and industry of the canal. Some are even identifiable as to their original function. Identifying the actual canal is a different matter, where it has been in-filled and ploughed over for many years it is difficult to even imagine there was once a thriving waterway here. However with a little diligence it is possible to discover clues. The plan for this canal is for a full restoration, and work has begun in various locations on small scale digging out, rebuilds and refurbishments although the task is immense. Somehow I don't think I shall be around with my trusty camera to record the grand reopening. In the meantime I hope to try and film both the canal in its 'natural' state and restoration as it progresses.
