Would any list member have any information on the Regent (s) Canal please?
dates of building or anything else.
We can find no reference in our encyclopaedias, nor in the list of Canals
built in England.
Yet, on one of the British Post Office stamp booklets, (which was part of
the series of industrial architecture) there is an illustration of a barge
on the canal. Also in a letter in our collection addressed to Lord Dover
from his Bankers in Lombard Street, dated June 30th 1832, there is this
sentence:-
"My Lord,
We will apply for your Lordship's Regent Canal dividend on the 16th
proxima......"
We would appreciate any help or information
Thanks in advance
