Construction began on the branch line in order to capitalise on the lucrative markets in the coal fields and the clothing industry in Frome. It was to incorporate novel balance locks to move boats up and down a hillside near Buckland Dinham, where the Murtry Aqueduct remains.[1] The balance lock was designed by James Fussell,[2] owner of the nearby Mells ironworks, and patented in 1798. One balance lock was successfully tested on 13 October 1800.[3] Construction ceased in 1803 due to unforeseen costs and the canal was never completed.
