The Paulton route flourished for nearly 100 years and was very profitable, carrying high tonnages of coal for many decades; this canal helped carry the fuel that powered the nearby city of Bath. </p><p>By the 1880s, coal production declined as the various pits either ran out of coal or were flooded and then closed. In 1896 the main pump at Dunkerton, which maintained the canal water level, failed. The resultant lowering in level meant that only small loads could be transported, which reduced revenue, thus the canal company could not afford a replacement pump. </p><p>The canal became disused after 1898 and officially closed in 1902, being sold off to the various railway companies who were expanding their networks. </p><p>In September 2014, restoration work began on the canal section from Paulton to Radford, with the aim of restoring the entire canal to navigation in the future.

tenders were invited for the first section to be built from the meadows near Goosehard (or Gooseyard) near Paulton to Hopyard in the parish of Camerton. In June 1795 a contractor, Houghton & Son from Shropshire, started the terminus at Paulton meadows using local labour. This first section of the canal was completed on Monday 1 October 1798; the first load of coal carried on the canal was delivered to Bath via Dunkerton. Some 14 collieries at Timsbury and Paulton were connected to their respective basins in the meadow terminus by tramways; this required the construction of three tramway bridges over the Cam brook. A further bridge at Upper Radford was required over the canal; at this point tramways connected the Withy Mills and Radford workings. The course of the Cam brook was modified at various places to protect the canal from erosion. In 1799 William Whitmore and his partner, Norton, offered to build a balance (or geometrical) lift without payment, on condition that if successful they were to have £17,300 and a royalty of 4 pence per ton of goods passed.<sup id="cite_ref-jim_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jim-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">United Kingdom legislation</div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox vevent mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary" style="font-size:100%"><span style="font-size:125%">Somersetshire Coal Canal Navigation Act 1802</span></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-subheader" style="font-weight: bold;">Act of Parliament</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg/140px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="140" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg/210px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg/280px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281801-1816%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1550" data-file-height="1550" /></span></span><div class="infobox-caption"><a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a></div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Short_and_long_titles" title="Short and long titles">Long title</a></th><td class="infobox-data description">An Act for enabling the Company of Proprietors of the Somersetshire Coal Canal Navigation, to vary and alter the Lines of the said Canal; to raise Money for completing the said Canal and Works; and to alter and amend the Powers and Provisions the several Acts passed for making the said Canal.</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Citation_of_United_Kingdom_legislation" title="Citation of United Kingdom legislation">Citation</a></th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/42_Geo._3" class="mw-redirect" title="42 Geo. 3">42 Geo. 3</a>. c. xxxv</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;">Dates</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Royal_assent" title="Royal assent">Royal assent</a></th><td class="infobox-data">30 April 1802</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/Geo3/42/35/pdfs/ukla_18020035_en.pdf">Text of statute as originally enacted</a></th></tr></tbody></table> <p>The design of the <a href="/wiki/Caisson_lock" title="Caisson lock">caisson lock</a> at <a href="/wiki/Combe_Hay_Locks" title="Combe Hay Locks">Combe Hay</a> was not a success: on 15 February 1798 the first descent failed.

By 22 August 1799 the second rebuilding of the caisson had been abandoned. It was replaced by three locks and an inclined plane trackway, but the trackway was not successful either, and the company proposed to raise more money to finance the building of a flight of 19 locks to replace it, the use of which would incur an additional toll of one shilling per ton on all traffic.<sup id="cite_ref-halseandcastens_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-halseandcastens-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This was vigorously opposed by the owners of the <a href="/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal" title="Kennet and Avon Canal">Kennet and Avon Canal</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wilts_and_Berks_Canal" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilts and Berks Canal">Wilts and Berks Canal</a>, on the grounds that the price of coal to their customers would be too high.

The money was raised by the Kennet and Avon, the Wilts and Berks and the Somerset Coal Canal each contributing £15,000, and the one shilling surcharge was to be levied until the capital had been repaid, after which it would cease.<sup id="cite_ref-dalby_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dalby-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The act set the tonnage rates to be charged: </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Somerset_caol_canal.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Somerset_caol_canal.JPG/220px-Somerset_caol_canal.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="189" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Somerset_caol_canal.JPG/330px-Somerset_caol_canal.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Somerset_caol_canal.JPG/440px-Somerset_caol_canal.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1928" data-file-height="1660" /></a><figcaption>Somerset Coal Canal at <a href="/wiki/Dundas_Aqueduct" title="Dundas Aqueduct">Dundas Aqueduct</a></figcaption></figure> <blockquote> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Tonnage rates on the Somerset Coal Canal in 1805<sup id="cite_ref-priestley1_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-priestley1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Cargo </th> <th>Rate </th></tr> <tr> <td>For all Coal, Coke, &c </td> <td><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">2<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span>d per Ton, per Mile. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For all Iron, Lead, Ores, Cinders, &c </td> <td>4d ditto. ditto. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For all Stones, Tiles, Bricks, Slate, Timber, &c </td> <td>3d ditto. ditto. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For all Cattle, Sheep, Swine and other Beasts </td> <td>4d ditto. ditto. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For all other Goods </td> <td>4d ditto. ditto. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For every Horse or Ass Travelling on the Railway </td> <td>1d each. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For every Cow or other Neat Cattle ditto </td> <td><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac"><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span>d ditto. ditto. </td></tr> <tr> <td>For Sheep, Swine and Calves ditto </td> <td>5d per Score. </td></tr></tbody></table><p> Fractions of a Mile to pay for Half a Mile, and of a Ton as a Quarter of a Ton; Rates for Wharfage to be determined by the Company.
