Site of the former Bude Canal at Marhamchurch, 1976

A named place photographed at this map point in Cornwall.

The Bude Canal, constructed in the early 19th century, connected Bude to the River Tamar and facilitated the transport of goods such as china clay and coal; it fell into disuse by the mid-19th century. The site at Marhamchurch is historically significant as part of this industrial infrastructure, reflecting Cornwall's early transport and trade networks.
