Petworth Canal
The Petworth Canal was one of Britain's shorter lasting canals, opened in 1795 and dismantled in 1826. On completion of the Rother Navigation the Earl of Egremont used his estate workforce to build the 1¼ mile long canal from just upstream of the Shopham Cut to Haslingbourne, with two locks, each with a rise of 8 feet and 6 inches. The Haslingbourne Stream was diverted to provide the water supply, and still flows in the canal bed from Haslingbourne to the site of Haines Lock. The initial intention was to extend the canal through the Shimmings Valley to Hamper's Green on the north side of Petworth, then northwards to join the Wey Navigation at Shalford.
==Legal authority==
Construction of the branch to Haslingbourne bridge was included in the Act of Parliament,〔Act of Parliament () of 1791〕 numbered () passed in 1791, titled; "An Act to enable the Earl of ''Egremont'' to make and maintain the River ''Rother'' navigable, from the Town of ''Midhurst'', to a certain Meadow, called the ''Railed Pieces'', or ''Stopham Meadow'' in the Parish of ''Stopham'', and a navigable Cut, from the said River to the River ''Arun'', at or near ''Stopham'' Bridge, in the county of ''Sussex''; and for other Purposes."
