	Bude Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bude Canal was originally planed as a highly ambitious project to build about 95 miles of canal for taking mineral rich sand from Bude, England to the Cornish hinterland to improve the quality of the land.
		When the canal was completed in 1825 it consisted of 2 miles of barge canal connecting the sea to the base of a string of inclined planes which transported the flat bottomed tub boats that were used on the rest of the canal between the various levels of the network.
		Today the sea lock is still in working order and the canal is in water as far as the base of the first inclined plane.

		Obviously, unless a perpendicular cliff were available to which to bring the two reaches of the canal, two pendanter pits or shafts would have to be sunk, and the lower reach of the canal brought to the bottom of the pit by a level or tunnel.
		The chief point of interest in the canal, from our point of view, is that differences of level are surmounted by inclined planes to the number of seven, and also that a modification of Fulton's endless chain of buckets, described in his letter of May 4th, is made use of.
		The principal traffic on the canal is in the sand from the haven, which, as also at Padstow, is peculiarly rich in carbonate of lime, and is used as manure on the fields.
