The liskeard and Looe Canal was built to develop the agricultural land around Liskeard.
This was the year that the canal was replaced by the railway.On average about four boats a day of ore would be passing down the canal to the quays at Looe.
From 1860 to 1895 the line from Moorswater to Looe was operated by the LLUC and it was only with the 1896 act that it changed officially from a canal to a railway company.
