Here in Bude we continue to agitate for the unnecessarily elusive completion to the canal regeneration which would enable boats of a decent size to pass under Rodds Bridge and having done so, to continue unobstructed into the canal basin at Helebridge through the beautiful old canal bridge which carries the old A39 over both canal and river within a few yards of each other; it's a by-way these days but still much used by walkers. Our ambition for a slipway to enable such boats to access the canal in the first place is part of the ongoing campaign to save the site of Stapleton's shipyard from random development by Cornwall Council and become instead, a valuable waterside base for the gig and canoe clubs and an asset to Bude and Bude people. After some very wild and wet weather the canal is very full of water but the birds are all down the Bude end.

  • Cornwall Council
    Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.

The Lower Wharf after completion of Phase I – clear evidence of a successful project which was due to the strong partnership which was forged during the regeneration process. The Bude Canal Regeneration Project (BCRP) was completed on 1st April 2009 when the lead partner, North Cornwall District Council (NCDC) ceased to exist. The Bude Canal from the Sea Lock to Marhamchurch Inclined Plane, 2 miles of rejuvenated waterway, is now owned by Cornwall Council, the new Unitary Authority. Whilst this section of the Canal is a joy to behold and is available for use by residents and visitors alike, there are works that were NOT DONE in the Project. There are various reasons, including funding, why proposals were NOT carried out. The main works not done are:- Replacement of Rodds Bridge with a suitable bridge with sufficient clearance to allow navigation under the bridge. Ideally the headroom should be not less than 2.2m. (see fig 5) Provision of at least 1 slipway above Falcon Bridge to allow access to the canal for local and visiting trail-boats. Reconnection of Helebridge Basin to the canal at Helebridge, near Marhamchurch, Bude. (see fig 6) Fig 5. Rodds Bridge - Any new bridge must have Fig 6. Helebridge sufficient headroom for navigation Reconnection of canal to canal basin 2 Bude Canal Regeneration Phase II and ‘The Way Forward’ These unfortunate shortfalls were recognised by NCDC and BCRP and the idea of a Phase II is to achieve all of the above was agreed as the way forward in due course.
