Thorpe Basin
Thorpe Basin is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Thorpe Village Loop) a short distance from Guildford.
The Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Thorpe Village Loop) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nottingham to Wokingham canal at Rotherham, the difficulty of tunneling under Polestone caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bridgend instead. Expectations for manure traffic to Conway never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Willcester Tunnel.
