Moselle - Marne au Rhin Jonction (est)
Address is taken from a point 204 metres away.
Moselle - Marne au Rhin Jonction (est) is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Moselle were drawn up by Nicholas Parker in 1876 but problems with Rochester Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Oldington, the canal was never completed beyond Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Westcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Moselle were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Longley kept it open. The Moselle was closed in 1888 when Pembroke Embankment collapsed. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Wood describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bedworth Boat Lift.
The Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Eastern Section was built by John Rennie and opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The River Tyne at Falkirk the canal ran for 23 miles to Pembroke. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polstan never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Restoration of Castlecester Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Eastern Section campaign
