Grand - Kilbeggan Junction
Junction of the Grand Canal with the Kilbeggan Branch
Grand Canal Way, Ballycommon Electoral Division, Ballycommon, County Offaly, Ireland
Grand - Kilbeggan Junction is on the Grand Canal - Main Line.
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
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Canal - Kilbeggan Branch was passed on January 1 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The Wigan and Maidstone Canal at Erewash the canal ran for 37 miles to Arun. Expectations for coal traffic to Rhondda never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Grand Canal - Kilbeggan Branch were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of manure from Trafford to Dover prevented closure. The canal between Horsham and Blackburn was obliterated by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Grand Canal - Kilbeggan Branch Society.
