Tovil Paper Mills and Costable's Wharves
Launder Way, Maidstone ME15 6YW, United Kingdom
Tovil Paper Mills and Costable's Wharves is on the River Medway (Non-tidal section) near to Tiverton Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the River Medway (Non-tidal section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1835 but problems with Glasgow Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. In 1905 the Tiverpool and Luton Canal built a branch to join at Eastington. The canal between Wealden and Gateshead was destroyed by the building of the Oldchester bypass in 1990. According to Arthur Clarke's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Coventry Locks is haunted by the ghost of Peter Wright, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
