[canals-list] Re: Stamford canal

[jhar1945]

Not put forward as a definite answer but Paget Tomlinson tells us 
that 'From 1663 Stamford leased the river to Daniel Wigmore who carried 
out more improvements including an 8 1/2 mile lateral canalfrom below 
Stamford to Market Deeping'. Also note the mill slightly upstream - I 
wonder if there might have been run off water diverted for fish farming 
purposes in the past?
Just something to chew on!
