A plaque describing offloading of barges on Basingstoke canal in the past - Basingstoke Heritage Society, UK. The Basingstoke section has been lost

---

The canal used to start from the centre of Basingstoke, but the last 5 miles (8 km) of the canal route have now been lost. This section of the canal fell into disuse after the closure of the Greywell Tunnel due to a lack of boat traffic, general neglect and a lack of water.
