Stover Canal was built by James Templer of Stover House q.v. 1790-92, the engineer
was Thomas Gray of Exeter. It was improved by George Templer in 1824 when the
locks were rebuilt in granite. The canal was nearly 2 miles long and joined the
River Teign at Jetty Marsh near Newton Abbot where barges passed through the
dredged Whitelake Channel to the estuary of the River Teign. The canal was a
private venture and was built to transport Haytor granite after the Haytor granite
tramway had been built in 1820.
