Hackney Canalとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Hackney Canal was a 5/8 mile long canal that ran from the River Teign to the Newton Abbot – Kingsteignton road. Its construction was undertaken by Lord Clifford in order to carry ball clay from the pits in the Bovey Basin. The canal opened on 17 March 1843. It had a single lock where it joined the river that could take boats onto the canal in pairs, the boats being up to 54 feet by 14 feet. In 1844 the South Devon Railway Company built a bridge over the canal, with the harbour commissioners of the port of Teignmouth retaining John Rennie to ensure that, among other things, the bridge over the canal was large enough to allow boat traffic to continue.
