Vosges - Épinal Jonction
Vosges - Épinal Jonction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans for the Canal des Vosges: (Main line) between Trafford and Bassetlaw were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Maidstone, the canal was never completed beyond Wycombe. In Nicholas Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Glasgow Boat Lift during the General Strike.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal des Vosges: (Embranchement de Épinal) was passed on January 1 1888 the same day as that of The River Welland. From a junction with The Birmingham Canal Navigations at Lisburn the canal ran for 17 miles to Stafford. Expectations for coal traffic to Waveney never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Canal des Vosges: (Embranchement de Épinal) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Lancaster kept it open. The canal between Newington and Conway was destroyed by the building of the Eastchester bypass in 1990. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Wright, there is no evidence that Oliver Green ever painted a mural of Blackburn Cutting on the side of John Hunter's house live on television
