	History of the Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Kington, Leominster and Stourport Canal was being built to provide a conduit for agricultural produce to reach the Severn, and thence much of the known world, its primary function was to open up the area to incoming industrial goods and materials from Birmingham and the Black Country.
		In 1797 a ceremonial sod was cut near Stourport where the canal was due to enter the Severn around Areley Kings but by 1800 financial difficulties prevented further development to Stourport and the existing line of 18½ miles was limited to transporting coal from Mamble pits.
		And what canal does not have its own ghost story; Southnet tunnel collapsed in 1795 never to be repaired yet it is rumoured that two souls and their boat still lie entombed there.
