		In 1830 the Lower Avon Navigation was leased to the Worcester-Birmingham Canal Company, which carried out maintenance on it until the railway between Evesham and Gloucester was opened which caused substantial losses, the lease being terminated in 1872.
		In spite of the efforts of the River Avon Improvement Association, formed in 1899, the Commissioners' recommendations at the public enquiry of 1903, which could have led to restoration, were not accepted.

		The river Avon had been navigable from Bristol to Bath during the early years of the 13th century but construction of mills on the river forced its closure.

		To work the new Kennet Navigation, a scaled-down version of the Western barges working the Thames was developed and this became known as the Newbury Size Barge carrying 128 tons.

	CLEAR
		The Upper Avon Navigation Trust are serious people with relevant experience in canal work- some years ago the Trust restored the lower reaches of the Avon below Stratford to a navigable state, rebuilding several locks.
		However the Avon upstream of Stratford is a narrower, more winding and more intimate river than that below Stratford and there are numerous reasons why it should not be made into a navigation including its effect on fishing, wildlife and the use of non powered boats in Warwick.
		The Charlecote/ Hampton Lucy stretch of the river is a long way short of being deep enough for use by the sort of craft that would be using the navigation.
