Where four Locks (Lockside) occur near together on the Canal, a branch has been taken out of the upper pound to a Dock, where the Stone and Coal Boats lie to unload, level with the tops of the Kilns, which are 12 in number, and can burn 2500 bushels of Lime daily; From the bottoms of the Kilns, Rail-ways are laid, and conducted, some into a Boat-bouse, over two Boats that can lay in a Dock connecting with the lower pound of the Canal, and have their lading of Lime tippled or turned over into them from the Trams on the Rail-way, under cover from rain.
A description from 1813.
