The Stroudwater Navigation was built in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, providing a link for trade between Gloucester to London, via other canals. Now closed to commercial boats, it has been restored and is run by the Cotswold Canals Trust. As Stonehouse has expanded in recent times some housing is starting to encroach.
