It was very successful in bringing trade to Louth, which grew in size to complete with Lincoln.
We decided this morning to walk part of it and found a parking spot a few miles outside Louth.
This abandoned canal is technically a Navigation and was a canalisation of the River Lud.
It has had an interesting life, authorised to be built by an act of Parliament in 1763 it was completed in 1770, but sadly closed due to lack of use in 1924.
A local trust has undertaken to look after it and there is a tow path on the east side for the whole length.
Ticklepenny Lock, now abandoned
The flow of water makes for a pretty picture
Chris investigating the old lock structure
Alvingham Lock, such an interesting construction.
Wavy walls.
This was as far as we walked today
This could be the reason why!
