Hawkswood
Address is taken from a point 292 yards away.
Hawkswood is on the River Medway (Tidal section).
The Act of Parliament for the River Medway (Tidal section) was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The North Walsham and Dilham Canal. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willchester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Liverfield kept it open. The canal between Torquay and Halton was lost by the building of the Harrogate bypass in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Stoke-on-Trent parish council.
