Archive image from the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal

These shoring timbers were installed in 1968 following a partial collapse of the walls in the cutting, the collapsed section can be identified by the different coloured blocks to the left of the cutting. This image was taken in 2008 thirty odd years after the 1970 style housing blocks were built, and shows the Albert Street bridge in the distance. Boats continued to sail beneath the timbers, which gave a minimum clearance of 8 feet

The Palace Moat,

One corner of the moat that surrounds the Bishop's Palace, Wells, Somerset, St Andrew's Spring, from which the city takes its name. The spring supplies St. Andrew's Well from which water flows at a rate of 40 imperial gallons (180 L) per second into the moat which holds 4 million imperial gallons (18,000,000 L).[ The palace is the official residence of the Bishop of Bath and Wells and has been for over 800 years HFF and a good weekend.....
