The town developed during the last century as an agricultural port serving the large rural area around it. It is one of the few parts of the Southwest to have a canal where incline planes were used instead of locks to raise the barges to different levels, and the barges were fitted with wheels! The canal is now abandoned, although some work has been done to restore it, and it is possible to walk along some of the route. |
