SUMMARY:Talk - The early years of the SCC 1793 to 1810
DESCRIPTION:Roger Halse will give an illustrated talk on “The Early Years of the SCC”\, from the beginning in the early 1790s up to 1810. It nearly failed several times. By 1810 both the SCC and the Kennet and Avon Canal were fully operational leading to successful trading for over 50 years. Although the company records no longer exist\, extensive research has revealed a significant amount of information about the beginning of the Somersetshire Coal Canal.  Roger will illustrate his findings with old photos\, maps and documents.

SUMMARY:Talk - The final years of the SCC\, including the finances\, 1870 until closure
DESCRIPTION:Roger will give an illustrated presentation on “The Final Years of the SCC”\, the last 30 years from 1870 until closure. Fortunately some documentary evidence has survived for the last 30 years of the Canal. His research over many years has uncovered financial information which reveals the story of the decline of the SCC. The story of the declining years\, the final demise and surrender to the railway industry will be illustrated using a selection of the documents in Roger’s vast collection.
