Thames & Severn Canal [13]
Thames & Severn Canal [13]
Tarlton Roundhouse [2]. A number of these circular cottages have survived including this one near Tarlton. Built with three floors, the lower of which was intended to be used as a store. A set of outside steps leads up to the first floor designed as a living area and equipped with cooking facilities. There was a circular bedroom on the second floor. They were built in the 1790s for use by lock-keepers and lengthmen, but were unpopular due to the limited amount of space and problems with finding suitable furniture for a circular room.
The Thames and Severn Canal was opened in 1789 and closed in 1927.
