Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Fossdyke Navigation in the Eighteenth Century
Evening talk organised by the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology and presented by Rob Wheeler.
The Fossdyke Act of1671 resulted in a reliable navigation from Lincoln to the Trent, for the first time in the modern era. This talk will draw on new work on the toll accounts to examine just how reliable it was, what traffic used it, and the men who operated the boats on it.
