Kennet and Avon Canal above Claverton

A named place photographed at this map point in Bath and North East Somerset.

The Kennet and Avon Canal above Claverton is historically significant for its role in 18th-century transport and trade, linking the River Thames to the River Avon. It is associated with the engineer John Rennie, who oversaw its construction, and the industrialist James Taylor, who funded much of the project to facilitate the transport of goods such as coal and limestone.
