Cann Quarry Canal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cann Quarry canal was a canal in Devon, England which ran for just under 2 miles from Cann Quarry to the River Plym at Marsh Mills. The canal was first proposed in 1778 but then largely remained in stasis until 1825. The canal was opened as a tub-boat canal on the 20th November 1829. Some time after 1834 [1] and before 1839 the canal had ceased to be used as a navigation and served as a mill leat.
Most of the Cann canal can still be seen today. The most notable features are two bridges over the canal, which have recently been rebuilt by the Plym Valley Railway.
