The purpose of the canal was the supply of limestone and coal to lime kilns along with the removal of the resulting quicklime, which was used as a fertiliser and for building houses. <br /> Construction was in two phases. A level section, from Tiverton to Lowdwells on the Devon/Somerset border, opened in 1814, and was capable of carrying broad-beam barges, carrying up to 40 tons. The Somerset section, suitable for tub boats (which were about 20 feet (6 m) long and capable of carrying eight tons) opened in 1839.<br /> The 11 miles of Devon section remains open, despite various threats to its future, and is now a designated country park and local nature reserve, and allows navigation. The Somerset section was closed in 1867, and is gradually disappearing from the landscape, although sections are now used as a footpath. It maintains a historical interest and has been subject to some archaeological excavations.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/studiaphotos/">Stuart Smith.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/studiaphotos/55051358843/" title="16 Old Bailey, London, England UK"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55051358843_2be4d9c9e8_m.jpg" width="186" height="240" alt="16 Old Bailey, London, England UK" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/stuart166axe/">Stuart Axe</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/stuart166axe/55051373514/" title="1985 Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55051373514_26d1152f2e_m.jpg" width="240" height="171" alt="1985 Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia" /></a></p> <p>Previously posted and now restored 35mm photograph of an abandoned 1985 Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia just off Chelmsford Road in Shenfield in the County of Essex (UK) in June 2001.<br /> <br /> The original <a href="https://flic.kr/p/G1q2k" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/G1q2k</a><br /> <br /> My Scrap Cars album <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsiNa8V7c" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/s/aHsiNa8V7c</a><br /> <br /> My Ford Anglia Escort Orion Focus album <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsjzc9e1w" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/s/aHsjzc9e1w</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/rkc01/">R.K.C.
