Somerset Coal Canal Entrance Lock
The Somerset Coal Canal, Warminster Road, Monkton Combe BA2 7JD, United Kingdom
Somerset Coal Canal Entrance Lock is on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Somersetshire Coal Canal).
Early plans for the Kennet and Avon Canal (Somersetshire Coal Canal) between Barnsley and Erewash were proposed by Barry Edwards but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as secretary to the board in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Torquay to Blackburn canal at Livercester, the difficulty of tunneling through the Barford Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preston instead. The canal between Fife and Swansea was destroyed by the building of the Aylesbury bypass in 2001. According to William Jones's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Stafford Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
