Abstract:The development of the Arun navigation as early as 1545 and the Wey a hundred years later, made a canal link between the London and Portsmouth an attractive commercial concept. Sponsored by the 3rd Earl of Egremont and opened in 1816, the canal's trade fell below expectations. The Portsmouth and Arun Canal, opened in 1823, did increase trade but the need for transhipment and cargoes restricted to 30 tons meant it was easier and more economical to use Channel coasters to London. Like the Basingstoke, trade relied on local developments and the Wey & Arun enjoyed a period of prosperity in the 1830s but, as with the Basingstoke, it suffered water shortages on the summit pound and competition from better roads and then railways so that it finally closed in 1871. This book is a full length detailed study, written with the interest of the general reader in mind, but fully documented for the historian. The Appendices are of special note. The book is profusely illustrated with 135 plates and line drawings, of which 90 are new to this edition, and 16 maps.
