They comprise the Stroudwater Navigation to the west of Stroud and the Thames & Severn Canal to the east. In these pages you will find lots of information to help you enjoy the waterway in whatever way you choose. Much of the content will be especially helpful to boaters with essential instructions for navigation. The Cotswold Canals extend way beyond this section as you can see on the map to the right. As restoration has progressed, the canal has become more popular as a wonderful destination for those seeking the relaxing atmosphere as well as a place that’s well used by locals. Much of the work has been done by a volunteer workforce. Only the larger projects have been undertaken by contractors. Stroud Valleys Canal Company (SVCC) is responsible for the operation of the section of canal covered in this guide. SVCC asks for your understanding as they work with others to improve the waterway and its environs. Do enjoy your visit to the Cotswold Canals.

  • Stonehouse Brick and Tile Company

    Stonehouse Brick and Tile Company

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1997 pages 14-26 THE STONEHOUSE BRICK AND TILE COMPANY Ray Wilson Introduction A survey of brickmaking in Gloucestershire published in 1910 reported six brickworks operating in the Stroud and Stonehouse area while a further seven had closed in recent times. (1) Brief details of the thirteen sites are given in Appendix 1. The three sites still working at Stonehouse included that of the Stonehouse Brick and Tile Company Ltd which was the largest of all thirteen sites. Their works covered about 20 acres of land in one tract to the north east of Stonehouse town centre (SO 809052). The brickworks had the benefit of its own private siding as it was situated immediately to the north of the Great Western Railway and just to the east of Stonehouse Burdett Road (GWR) Railway Station. The company started production in 1891 and it was the last of the local brickworks to close when production stopped in 1968. Very little appears to have been written about the history of brickmaking in the Stroud and Stonehouse area. The following is an attempt to record at least some of the history of one of the major local brickworks. It is freely acknowledged that the account given here is far from complete and that the material presented may subsequently require revision. However, it is considered worthwhile to set out what is available now in the hope that it may stimulate interest in the subject. Thus it may be possible that additional sources will be revealed so that some of the gaps can be filled and any mistakes rectified.

    Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Cotswold Canals Restoration Phase 1b. Saul Junction to The Ocean, Stonehouse Project S08 Traffic on the Stroudwater Canal: 1881 Prepared by Hugh Conway-Jones April 2007 Issue 1 This paper presents a summary of the vessel movements and cargoes recorded in the tonnage books for the Stroudwater Canal in the early months of 1881 with some analysis. In this period, there were over 800 cargo-carrying trips, mainly conveying goods eastwards into the Stroud valley and only a few taking goods outwards. Most of the cargoes comprised coal brought by barge from Lydney or Bullo Pill, coal brought by narrow canal boat from the Midlands or Bullo Pill and roadstone brought by barge from Bristol or Chepstow. www.gsia.org.uk/canals Traffic on the Stroudwater Canal in 1881 By Hugh Conway-Jones April 2007 This note presents a summary of the vessel movements on the Stroudwater Canal recorded in the Canal Company’s tonnage books from 1 January to 31 May 1881 (Glos Archives D1180/4/35 & 36). The survey nominally covers 21½ weeks, but due to severe icing during January, the time when vessel movements were possible was about 20 weeks. In this period, over 800 cargo-carrying trips were recorded, mainly taking goods eastwards into the Stroud valley and only a few carrying goods outwards. Full lists of barges and narrow canal boats and their typical movements are given in Tables 1 and 2. Barges Table 1 includes 42 different barges, typically capable of carrying 50 to 70 tons. Most of these were owned by men whose main business was conveying cargoes for others, but some owners were primarily merchants who presumably carried their own goods.

(1950’s) H.J.H.King &Co Ltd.(1960’s) Vickers Boby ( 1980’s)…etc. Arnold Redler was born in Tiverton in 1875, the son of a Miller. Around 1900, Arnold and his elder brother Daniel set up on their own in Worcester under the name of Daniel Redler & Co. Ltd. In 1909 they moved to Sharpness Docks and established themselves at Elysium Mills. The start of the first World War only five years later in 1914 brought a shortage of manpower and the 24hour working of a mill led him to look at labour saving and a change to bulk from sack handling and storage. This led him to experiment with his ideas and before long he had raised patents for equipment to convey and store loose materials in bulk by the end of the war in 1919, Arnold formed Redler Patents Ltd. and before long he ceased flour milling and concentrated on bulk handling. His inventive mind led to many patents including some in other fields such as cinematography yet he had no formal engineering background . The early days and technology are set down in ”The First Forty Years ”by a professional writer engaged by Cozens and Sutcliffe in the 1960’s. This was augmented by ten pages concentrating on the early technical development which was written by Herbert Chamberlain (London Office Manager) in 1975 when a twenty page customer hand-out was proposed, .
