If a building was erected in the 1700s, it would almost automatically be listed as Grade I or, at the very least, grade II.
However, when it comes to our canals no such listing is facilitated and many have been allowed to become silted up with locks having fallen into disrepair.
A section of a canal near Stroud, called the Missing Mile and part of the Stroudwater Canal, is being renovated; however, a totally new section is having to be created to go under the M5. This will be the first bit of new canal since 1905.
