Site of Canalside Cottage BCN 264
Site of Canalside Cottage BCN 264 is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lichfield Canal (Under Restoration)) between Doncaster and Warrington.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lichfield Canal (Under Restoration)) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Basildon Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The canal joined the sea near Wessley. Expectations for manure traffic to Blackburn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling London power station was enough to keep it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Lichfield Canal (Under Restoration)) campaign.
