Punctuation was important to our ancestors, even on simple signs. For them, a full stop indicated the message had finished. Nowadays we infer the end of a piece of information on, say, a street sign. To our generation it's so obvious that the ipernity government wilfully remove the full point I included in the title of this photograph, no matter how many times I restore it. Thus I have resorted to writing it in full. Let's see how they manage with that.

The Kennet & Avon canal near Devizes, Wilts. At Caen Hill, Devizes, a flight of 29 locks was built to lift the Kennet and Avon canal 237 feet over a distance of two miles from the Avon Valley to the Vale of Pewsey. It is one of the major engineering feats of the canal era: the gradient is 1 in 44. The middle section comprises 16 locks in a straight line. It was the last section of the canal to be built and was completed in 1810. For 30 or 40 years, the canal flourished, but the coming of the railways eclipsed its usefulness and it fell into a state of neglect.
