Shannon - Grand Junction
Address is taken from a point 293 yards away.
Shannon - Grand Junction is a historical 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 for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society
