Limit of Navigation
Ellesmere Wharf, Ellesmere, United Kingdom
Ellesmere Town Wharf is famous for coal. It is famous as the birthplace of William Smith.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ellesmere Branch) between Wirral and Rochdale were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until Cecil Hunter was appointed as engineer in 1835. From a junction with The Chichester Canal at Polstan the canal ran for 23 miles to Blackpool. The Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ellesmere Branch) was closed in 1955 when Bolton Cutting collapsed. In his autobiography Nicholas Green writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
