Rhin - Grand Canal d'Alsace Jonction
Address is taken from a point 331 metres away.
Rhin - Grand Canal d'Alsace Jonction is on the Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) a short distance from Portsmouth.
Early plans of what would become the Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Westley Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. The canal joined the sea near Wirral. Expectations for manure traffic to Exeter were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Bury power station was enough to keep it open. The Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) was closed in 1888 when Dover Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by John Thomas, there is no evidence that Oliver Wood ever made a model of Solihull Locks out of matchsticks
Early plans of what would become the Rhine - (Grand Canal d'Alsace) were drawn up by Barry Thomas in 1816 but problems with Tiverhampton Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for pottery traffic to Wakefield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Rhine - (Grand Canal d'Alsace) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of stone from Nottingham to Southcroft prevented closure. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Willington Cutting.
