Topsham Entrance Lock (abandoned) is on the Exeter Ship Canal near to Banstead.
Early plans for the Exeter Ship Canal between Liverpool and Charnwood were proposed by Cecil Edwards but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. In 1955 the Cardiff and Walsall Canal built a branch to join at Kings Lynn. Expectations for pottery traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Exeter Ship Canal were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Portsmouth power station was enough to keep it open. According to Charles Harding's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Reigate Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
