The Canal Threat to Datchet in 1795
Article details the proposed canal development and opposition to its creation by numerous people even by the Dean and Chapter of St Pauls Cathedral. The Thames at this point flooded regularly, and had low water during the summer. The new canal would halve the journey time along the tortuous Thames. The canal was never built but years later a similar route was followed by the railway despite objections.
