Halesworth - a historic malt town information board
This is board #5 in a series of nine jotted around the town in places of interest.
This one deals with the old quay, maltings, the lock and the New Reach canal. Needless to say nothing remains of the rich history of Halesworth's malting industry except the walls of the former lock which formed the entrance and exit to the New Reach which, at this point, is no more than a stagnant drain at the time of writing.

The Blyth Navigation
Temporarily borrowed from Wikipedia.
The Blyth Navigation was a canal in Suffolk, England, running 7 miles (11 km) from Halesworth to the North Sea at Southwold. It opened in 1761, and was insolvent by 1884. Its demise was accelerated by an attempt to reclaim saltings at Blythburgh, which resulted in the estuary silting up. It was used sporadically until 1911, and was not formally abandoned until 1934.
