Information board at Devizes Marina
Some thoughtful persons and bodies have put up this educational board. It synopsizes the history of the Kennet & Avon Canal which was opened in 1810 and linked Bristol with London via the River Avon, the River Kennet and the Thames with canal links between the three. The canal is 87 miles long and boasts 106 locks, 29 of them at Devizes, 1 tunnel of 502 yards and two aqueducts.
During its heyday it carried coal, timber, stone and aggregates plus smaller quantities of some perishable goods.
Its heyday didn't last long as we all know, due to the emergence of the railway.
The canal is famous for being the route of the Devizes to Westminster race where paddlers race their kayaks and canoes against the clock and each other.

Kennet and Avon Canal [22]
Devizes Marina has some residential moorings plus over 100 recreational moorings. This view looks over the boats towards the relatively recent housing development in Naughton Avenue.
The market town of Devizes developed around its 11th century castle. It gained a charter in 1141 and holds a weekly market in the large and picturesque Market Place. In the 16th century the town became known for its textiles and in the early 18th century held the largest corn market in the West Country. Devizes has about 500 listed buildings - a very large number for a small town.
