About Stroudwater Navigation and The Thames and Severn Canal

The Stroudwater Navigation
The 7-mile Stroudwater Navigation linking the River Severn with the wool town of Stroud,The Canal was opened in 1779. One of England's earliest canals.The canal closed to navigation in 1954.

The Thames & Severn Canal
The success of the Stroudwater Navigation led to the completion of a canal through to the Thames at Inglesham in 1789. Built by a separate company, the Thames and Severn Canal joined the Stroudwater Navigation at Wallbridge in Stroud.

The two canals became an essential trade artery linking the Severn and Thames, but trade declined sharply after the building of the railways. The last recorded through trip was in 1911, and the Thames & Severn was closed by 1933.
