Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Coleford: ‘Hucky Duck’ An aqueduct built as part of the Dorset & Somerset Canal, which was begun in 1797 but never completed. ‘Aqueduct’ was a rather new-fangled word for the Somerset colliers and got corrupted to ‘Hucky Duck’. Only a generation ago I recall a retired miner in the Seven Stars in Timsbury avowing ‘Not in a twelvemonth ..’; he would never stoop to using the word ‘year’. A part of the world where change comes slowly
