Encyclopedia > Andover Canal

The Andover Canal was a canal built in Hampshire, England. It ran 22 miles from Andover to Redbridge through Stockbridge and Romsey. The canal had a fall of 179 feet through 24 locks. The canal was completed in 1794 at a cost of £48,000. The canal was never successful enough to pay a dividend until it closed in 1859, when income from the sale produced one.
