Does that stack up? Present-day canals have a waterway maybe 15 plus feet wide and a towpath maybe 6 feet wide. It's difficult to imagine closing the canal and building a railway requiring say 15 feet of formation on the towpath. Obviously they would have wanted to avoid any earthworks they could, but wouldn't they have been forced to drain the canal and level the towpath into the bed of it to make a flat solum?

Do we have a good source naming Robert Rennie or could John Rennie the Elder have been the relevant builder/architect?— Rod talk 21:27, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
This article mentions "two small canals were built near the North Drain".
I wonder if these were Galton's Canal and Brown's Canal? [1] Derek Andrews ( talk) 10:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
At the suggestion of User:TimTay I propose to take this section to a new article: " Glastonbury Canal (medieval)". Initial discussions here. -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 09:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm thinking of nominating this article at WP:GAC. Can anyone think of anything else which needs to be done to ensure it meets the good article criteria?— Rod talk 17:08, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything worthy enough for this to be put on hold, so I'll pass it now. It's a well written article that meets the GA criteria, well done! JAG UAR 11:31, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Parts of Andy Wood's book Abandoned & Vanished Canals of England, specifically his chapter on this canal and the mediaeval Glastonbury Canal (I haven't checked out any others) are lifted from Wikipedia itself and as such shouldn't be used as a source here. Deleted. More at Talk:Glastonbury Canal (medieval)#Unacknowledged re-publication elsewhere.-- 217.155.32.221 ( talk) 13:48, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
