An act for effectually carrying into execution an act of parliament of the thirtieth year of his present Majesty, for making and maintaining a navigable communication between Stowmarket and Ipswich, in the county of Suffolk.
Parliament had been petitioned in 1719 to make the River Gipping navigable, but this had been opposed by Ipswich Corporation, fearing that such a development would have a negative impact on their vested interests. However, following advances in civil engineering during the eighteenth century, the 1790 bill was passed.[1] The Act set up the Stowmarket Navigation Trust.
After a protracted lawsuit, the Stowmarket Navigation Trust needed to raise a further £15,000 which was enabled by the Ipswich and Stowmarket Navigation Act 1793 (33 Geo. 3. c. 20).[3]
