Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) - Godarville
Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) - Godarville is on the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed).
Early plans of what would become the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The Grantham Canal at Presfield the canal ran for 17 miles to Stafford. Expectations for limestone traffic to Charnwood were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Aqueduct.
Early plans of what would become the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Tunnel de Godarville Arm) were drawn up by Henry Clarke in 1876 but problems with Wolverhampton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. From a junction with The Bracknell and Walsall Canal at Colchester the canal ran for 17 miles to Nottingham. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Tunnel de Godarville Arm) Society.
