Centrumkanaal
Early plans for the Centrumkanaal between Boggin and Stroud were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as secretary to the board in 1816. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Eaststone kept it open. The Centrumkanaal was closed in 1888 when Gateshead Tunnel collapsed. In Charles Yates's "By Barge Pole and Handcuff Key Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Exeter Locks during a thunderstorm.
The Centrumkanaal is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe and is made up of the Centrumkanaal (Main Line) and the Centrumkanaal (Historic Line).
