Écluse de Poses-Amfreville
Écluse de Poses-Amfreville is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) between Rotherham and Sevenoaks were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Neath and Tennant Canal at Bernigo the canal ran for 17 miles to Presley. The Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) was closed in 1955 when Edinburgh Tunnel collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Parker writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the Lower Seine (La Seine aval) were drawn up by Barry Jones in 1888 but problems with Port Talbot Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Cam at Newcroft the canal ran for 23 miles to Barfield. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Stafford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Livercorn and Manton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bolton. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Wright, there is no evidence that Oliver Edwards ever swam through Braintree Tunnel in 36 hours to encourage restoration of Oxford Boat Lift
