Pinkery 07 – Pinkworthy |
A waterway which has come to be known as the Pinkery Canal or Pinkworthy, leading eastwards and contouring the southern slopes of The Chains, from Pinkworthy Pond to Exe Head and was constructed for John Knight in 1833. The purpose of the feature is still not clear, but documents note the construction of a 'water carriageway' in 1833. It is said that it was never actually connected to the pond, although clearly intended to be, and it is thought that its purpose may have been for irrigation of the land between Pinkery Farm and Honeymead. It is a possibility that the pond and canal may have been to provide water power to work an incline near Simonsbath on Knight's proposed Exmoor and Porlock Railway. |
