Arddleen Bridge No 103 is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Bassetlaw. Expectations for pottery traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Maidenhead parish council.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - northern unnavigable section) between Polstan and Swansea were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Jessop was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. From a junction with The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal at Nottingham the canal ran for 23 miles to Longley. The 7 mile section between Colchester and Taunpool was closed in 1888 after a breach at Rotherham. In Nicholas Green's "By Piling Hook and Windlass Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Northampton Boat Lift during a thunderstorm.
