Display at The Elms - Portsmouth and Arundel Navigation Canal
Waterloo Room, The Elms, 2 Lower Road, Havant, Hampshire, PO9 3LH
The Portsmouth and Arundel Navigation Canal opened in 1823 to link Portsmouth to London and the Thames. Unusual that it was part barge and ship canal, but also an open waters route. The display will show documents relating to why it was built and the local investors who wanted this massive undertaking to succeed. The investors committee was chaired by William Turner (Victualler) whose home was at The Elms in Bedhampton, a Grade II* listed building.
The display will follow the talk to be given in the Waterloo Room of The Elms on Saturday 14th September at 1430 - see separate entry.
By appointment, Visitors can trace the development of the area through the ages from documents, maps and information on local historic buildings held by the Bedhampton Historical Collection at The Elms.
