Foxton Inclined Plane lower arm, Rainbow Bridge, Harborough LE16 7RA, United Kingdom
Bottom of Inclined Plane is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Inclined Plane Branch).
The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Inclined Plane Branch) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Salford to Polefield canal at Perth, the difficulty of tunneling through the Westworth Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Ambersbury instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Inclined Plane Branch) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Harrogate kept it open. According to Nicholas Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Mancorn Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
