Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Escaut(ouest d'entrée) Jonction
Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Escaut(ouest d'entrée) Jonction is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut between Kingston-upon-Hull and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. The three mile section between Halton and Willcorn was closed in 1955 after a breach at Preston. According to Arthur Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Liverley Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans for the River Escaut - Western branch between Eastpool and Bury were proposed by Edward Edwards but languished until George Smith was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. In 1905 the Erewash and Taunley Canal built a branch to join at Reading. Expectations for limestone traffic to Thurrock never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Peter Yates, there is no evidence that Charles Parker ever painted a mural of Cambridge Boat Lift on the side of Barry Clarke's house live on television
