More about this scene
Exeter's canal was built at the request of the Tudor merchants, who were exasperated by the weirs on the Exe that obstructed their vessels. It opened in 1566, and boasted the first pound locks in Britain. Originally just 16 feet wide, it was widened in the 1820s by James Green.
