REVOLUTIONARY TRANSPORT PROJECT PROPOSED FOR KENT An ambitious, zero carbon, high-speed canal has been proposed that will revolutionise and transform the transport of goods between the English Channel and London, with ready access to other parts of the country through the existing canal network. It is anticipated that this new transport link will take much of the heavy traffic away from the present road system which is greatly in need of extensive repair. The intention is to seek Parliamentary approval for the project that is hailed as the solution to a road network unsuitable for heavy traffic, open up access to the wider market for Kent’s industry and provide some needed investment in the County. You can imagine that headline in today’s Maidstone Journal but it is not in today’s paper but that of the year 1800 when a group of important men met at the Ye Olde Bell Hotel in the town. They discussed the building of what would become known as The Weald of Kent Canal and a spokesperson after the meeting said that ‘It will be England’s answer to the Canal du Midi’. Alexander Sutherland surveyed the first route through Kent which was ‘laid before subscribers’ at a general meeting in September 1801 but Sutherland died in 1802 and the surveying reins passed to John Rennie, the renowned canal engineer. He re-surveyed and made amendments to Sutherland’s route and declared: ‘It is without exception the finest piece of country to cut a canal through I ever saw’ The major financial sponsors of Sutherland’s first survey in 1800 were Earl Camden, Earl Romney, the Kent MP Sir William Geary, Sir Thomas Roberts and Thomas Adams. The original surveys and documents can still be found in The Sussex Keep at Brighton and Maidstone’s Kent History and Library Centre. We are also extremely fortunate that Thomas Dearn, a prominent member of Cranbrook’s community, was sufficiently interested in the project to include a resume in his ‘An Historical, Topographical and Descriptive Account of the Weald of Kent’ published in 1813. The proposed Canal would connect the River Medway, with its access to the River Thames and London, to the port of Rye. It would avoid the longer and more difficult and dangerous sea passage around the Kent coast, carry chalk, lime and coal into the Weald and timber and agricultural produce out in the 40 ton barges common on the River Medway. The final route of the Weald of Kent Canal would now link with the Royal Military Canal on its way to Rye Harbour and would have been a majestic scheme but imagine if the Weald of Kent Canal had been completed. An idyllic route across the historic Weald of Kent and a legacy to the art of canal building but sadly, it remained in the dreams of a few good men. It would become the Canal that Never Was.

Some food for thought as we approach the end of the week. 💭10 ideas for green transportation infrastructure! This is not about removing the car from the picture entirely but creating options so people have the choice to get around their communities using their own power. Pedestrian bridges, for instance, are not that common in the U.S.! The benefits are multiple, especially when utilising existing structures (such as the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park, the longest pedestrian bridge in the world), rather than starting from scratch with new materials #GreenTransportation #SustainableTransportation
