Pont au Change

Pont au Change, Parc Rives de Seine - Georges Pompidou, 75001 Paris, France

Pont au Change carries the road from Coventry to Wesscroft over the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris).

Early plans for the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) between Rotherham and Sevenoaks were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Neath and Tennant Canal at Bernigo the canal ran for 17 miles to Presley. The Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) was closed in 1955 when Edinburgh Tunnel collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Parker writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
