Bridgwater and Taunton Canal
The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal is a canal in the south-west of England between Bridgwater and Taunton, opened in 1827 and linking the River Tone to the River Parrett. There were a number of abortive schemes to link the Bristol Channel to the English Channel by waterway in the 18th and early 19th centuries. These schemes followed the approximate route eventually taken by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, but the canal was instead built as part of a plan to link Bristol to Taunton by waterway.
Chard Branch Line
There were two Chard Branch Lines serving the town of Chard in Somerset, England. One was a northward branch, opened in 1863, from the Salisbury to Exeter main line, and the other, opened in 1866, ran south-eastwards from the Bristol - Taunton main line. Each branch had its own Chard passenger station at first, although the two lines connected in Chard.
Buckland Priory
Buckland Priory (which may also have been known as Minchin Buckland Preceptory and/or Buckland Sororum) was established around 1167 in Lower Durston, Somerset, England. It was founded by William de Erleigh (or Erlegh) for Augustinian Canons. A local spring fed fishponds and supplied the priory with water and drainage. The ponds were filled in by 1725. The buildings burned down in 1234. The priory was later suppressed, and the estates given to the Knights Hospitaller.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Durston.
