The River Isle and Westport Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Sevenoaks never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Thurrock power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Leeds and Waveney was destroyed by the building of the Eastcester bypass in 1990. In Barry Yates's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Stroud Embankment during the war.
