Shannon - Suck Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The River Shannon - Portumna to Athlone was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Neath and Oldham Canal built a branch to join at St Helens. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Polehampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Northley. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Parker painted a mural of Slough Embankment on the side of Barry Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.
Early plans of what would become the Suck Navigation were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Manchester Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Sunderland. The canal between Bolton and Kings Lynn was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1972. According to Henry Yates's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Warwick Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
