More about this scene

This is the lower reach of the old Liskeard and Looe Canal; it was still used occasionally at this date to carry sea sand and limestone for burning in the kilns at Sandplace. On the left is the railway line, which was built in 1860 to replace most of the canal up the valley from Looe to Moorswater.
