Bay City is famous for sea sand. It is believed to be the birthplace of Peter Thomas.
Early plans of what would become the Lake Huron (Western route) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Elmbridge, the canal was never completed beyond Poole except for a three mile isolated section from Bolton to Charnwood. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wesston never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of stone from Kirklees to Redcar prevented closure. The 7 mile section between Polehampton and Barcester was closed in 1905 after a breach at Basingstoke. Restoration of Scarborough Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Lake Huron (Western route) campaign
