Rolle Canal
The Rolle Canal (or Torrington Canal) in North Devon, England extends from its mouth into the River Torridge at Landcross 6 miles southwards to the industrial mills and corn-mills at Town Mills (now called "Orford Mill"), Rosemoor, Great Torrington〔Lost canals and Waterways of Britain ''Ronald Russell'' page 96 ISBN 0-7153-8072-9〕 and beyond to Healand Docks and weir on the Torridge, where survive the ruins of Lord Rolle's limekilns, upstream of today's Rosemoor Garden.〔http://www.bidefordpeople.co.uk/event/Rolle-Canal-Walk-RHS-Rosemoor-Garden/event-13049762-detail/event.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter〕 Town Mills were built by Lord Rolle and were powered by a stream which flowed past his seat of Stevenstone to the east of Great Torrington and also supplied water to the canal. Rosemoor and North and South Healand farms were part of Lord Rolle's Stevenstone estate on the east bank of the Torridge.
==Description==
The canal comprises a sea lock at Landcross, a 60-foot inclined plane at Weare Giffard and an aqueduct of five arches over the River Torridge at Beam.〔''Industrial Archaeology'' Aids to recording (6) page 76〕
At the terminus of the canal at the limekilns at Rosemoor a leat supplies the canal to ensure a constant water level, which channels-off water from the River Torridge at Healand (or Darkham) Weir,〔http://www.therollecanal.co.uk/index.php/the-canal/lime-kilns/〕 rebuilt in 1837.〔http://www.therollecanal.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/1800s/healandbluesml.gif〕
