There was also a short section of water filled canal about a mile North of Wharf House at Leominster which ended by the site of of bridge across a lane that leads to The Moors .. there was also some masonery remains behind at hedge at the end of the lane that looked as if they might have been part of the bridge.

I explored some of the canal in the late 1990s and found the possible of the unfinished remains at Eyton Common. I suspect that work may have continued for some distance along the lane and the house that look lkie a small holding may in fact be canal related. A puzzle for me is that much of the canal channel seems very narrow, and at some points .. approaches to the Woofferton Aqueduct and North of Putnall Tunnel it would have been hard for a full length narrow boat to go around the curves with such a narrow channel .. my thought are that it was actually built as a tub boat canal?
