Full description
Part of Bure Navigation, built in 1775 to avoid Burgh Mill.
Still intact in 1993, with a ruined lock at centre.
E. Rose (NAU), 26 July 1993.
Bure navigation canal opened in stages from 1775 to 1778 from Aylsham Staithe to Coltishall, partly by improving the existing river, partly by a series of parallel canals most of which have since become the main river course. Burgh Lock Cut was open by 1775. The New Cut east of Oxnead is a later addition of 1851, and Hautbois New Cut is of 1852. It was closed in 1928.
