Summary
| Description |
English: Stock certificate of the "Company of Proprietors of the Basingstoke Canal Navigation" for £100, issued on 7 November 1791, printed on parchment. With the end of the "canal mania", these £100 shares crashed to £30 in 1800 and £5 in 1834. The Basingstoke Canal is located in the Southern part of England between Greywell (Hamshire) and Woodham (Surrey). It was built between 1788 and 1794 and is 51 km long. After several years of renovations, the Canal is now fully navigable. Today, ownership is divided and belongs to about half to Hampshire County Council and about half to Surrey County Council. |
