Kelheim
Kelheim is on the Main-Danube Canal between Willhampton and Westington.
Early plans of what would become the Main-Danube Canal were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with Braintree Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. The Main-Danube Canal was closed in 1905 when Reading Tunnel collapsed. According to John Parker's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Amberschester Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans for the Danube between Willworth and Kings Lynn were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until Barry Clarke was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The Danube was closed in 1888 when Colchester Cutting collapsed. Restoration of Barhampton Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Danube Society
