Details of Canal tonnage in Coal brought to Brimscombe.
Thomas Butt working a small Banbury Boat to Bullo Pill for Forest Coal but not heard she has yet been to Lydney nor are boats of that description calculated to navigate to either place. Stroud Canal 8 miles, T&S Canal c29 miles & plenty of vessels able to bring Forest Coals to Brimscombe almost as cheap as you can & without the risk
