The canal still carries water for a hydroelectric scheme but has been out of use for the carriage of goods for a very long time, having officially closed in 1873. These buildings are at the Tavistock end of the canal. The building on the right with the large door was the coal warehouse and it is thought that a plateway probably entered through the door.
