Bishops Cannings Swing Bridge
canal bridge, Kennet and Avon Canal, KAC50.57 miles.chains from
Reading;
Bishops Cannings, Wiltshire.
Stank at Bishops Cannings swing bridge, a set of stop planks fitted in
a stop groove. This is what the puddled bed of a canal looks like;
puddle is clay, it's sticky.
It is said that one way to set the clay puddle in the canal bed as a
continuous seal was to get a herd of cows to trample it.
