Can anyone here tell me any history on the short waterway between the Dog in a Doublet and Thorney? It looks to be a canal. I can't find any trace of it beyond Thorney. Did it terminate there? It looks like the waterway joined the Nene via a lock chamber. The walls of the chamber still exist. My internet searches on this waterway turn up very little. Anything to satisfy my curiosities would be appreciated. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
