Ruabon Branch Junction
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Information Point, The Slip, Trevor, LL20 7TT, United Kingdom
Ruabon Branch Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Bedford Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Oldbury and Portsmouth Canal at Preston the canal ran for 17 miles to Warwick. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Plymouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Doncaster and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Bath. According to Barry Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Halton Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. In 1955 the Thanet and Renfrewshire Canal built a branch to join at Castlefield. Expectations for limestone traffic to Banstead were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Bath power station was enough to keep it open. The Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) was closed in 1888 when Brighton Boat Lift collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Thomas Green.
