More about this scene
The Ulverston Canal was opened in 1796 to connect the town with the Leven Estuary, and to enable trade, both exports and imports, to be increased. At only a mile long, it is the shortest canal in England, and also the straightest and deepest. It was surveyed by the celebrated engineer John Rennie. The lock gates, through which 944 vessels passed in 1846, were concreted up in 1949.
