Lack of definitive materials edit
I haven't been able to find much definitive about this canal. There are varying references to its location, time of building and connection to the Lydney Canal
Here is what I have from online sources:
- Was a 1.5 mile, 3 lock, canal from Middle Forge, Lydney, to Lydney Pill, Gloucestershire. Built about 1779, open until the mid-1840s. [1]
- Pidcock's Canal was constructed from 1790 onwards, connecting Upper and Lower Forge at the head of Lydney Pill. [2]
Gloucester archives seems to have some materials pertaining to this canal. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] These latter records all seem to mention the route as being from Upper Forge to Lower Forge.
