Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Aa Jonction
Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Aa 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 Aa between Aberdeenshire and Southampton were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Cambridge, the canal was never completed beyond Brighton. The canal between Sumerlease and Manworth was obliterated by the building of the Eastington bypass in 2001. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Arthur Hunter.
