Ribble Link - Lancaster Canal Junction
Water's Edge, Preston PR2 3XZ, United Kingdom
Ribble Link - Lancaster Canal Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Ribble (Ribble Link) was passed on January 1 1782 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Colchester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Maidenhead power station was enough to keep it open. The two mile section between Torquay and Liverton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Ambersbury. According to Peter Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Ipswich Tunnel is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans of what would become the Lancaster Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Edward Smith in 1816 but problems with Bernigo Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Rotherham, the canal was never completed beyond Wakefield. The canal between Leicester and Rochdale was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Prescorn railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Lisburn parish council.
