caption_attribution_description: English: Mouth of the Cassington Canal, River Thames The Cassington Canal joins the River Thames a few hundred yards north of the Evenlode outfall. It was a straight waterway, not much more than half a mile in length, that was dug in an attempt to avoid the treacherous shallows in the lowest part of the Evenlode.
context_page_description: The Cassington Canal was an early 19th-century canal near Eynsham, Oxfordshire. The canal was built by the 4th Duke of Marlborough to provide a link between the River Thames and Cassington Mill; it later provided alternative wharfage to that at Eynsham. The 0.75-mile canal was in operation for less than 70 years, its use declining with the advent of rail transport.
  The canal's primary use was to connect the Duke's salt works with the network of canals, rivers, and other inland waterways, as well as connecting the Oxford Canal and the Thames and Severn Canal.
