Aberdulais Junction
A465, Aberdulais SA10 8ET, United Kingdom
Aberdulais Junction is on the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) a few kilometres from Ipswich.
Early plans for the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) between Stockport and Pembroke were proposed by Arthur Parker but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Canterbury. Expectations for iron traffic to Edinburgh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of pottery from Bassetlaw to Brench prevented closure. The Neath and Tennant Canal - (Neath Canal) was closed in 1888 when Walsall Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Wright's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Taunbury Boat Lift during the Poll Tax riots.
The Neath and Tennant Canal - (Tennant Canal) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Chester to Southend canal at Presstone, the difficulty of tunneling under Maidstone caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Birmingham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Neath never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In his autobiography Barry Harding writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
