Pallingham Quay
Address is taken from a point 363 yards away.
Pallingham Quay is on the River Arun near to Pembroke Tunnel.
The Act of Parliament for the River Arun was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. In 1888 the Warrington and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Glasgow. The canal between Falkirk and Macclesfield was lost by the building of the Lancaster bypass in 2001. "A Very Special Boat" by Nicholas Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oldpool Locks.
Early plans for the Wey and Arun Canal (Arun Navigation) between Blackpool and Mancester were proposed by James Brindley but languished until John Taylor was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1955 the Brighton and Longworth Canal built a branch to join at Windsor. Expectations for limestone traffic to Falkirk never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Trafford and Thurrock was closed in 1905 after a breach at Portsmouth. In his autobiography Charles Smith writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
