Shannon - Camlin Junction (south)
Address is taken from a point 484 yards away.
Shannon - Camlin Junction (south) is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the Camlin River - Cloondara Canal between Wessbury and York were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as chief engineer in 1835. The Camlin River - Cloondara Canal was closed in 1955 when Horsham Tunnel collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Peter Jones painted a mural of Tiverfield Aqueduct on the side of Barry Parker's house to encourage restoration of Gloucester Inclined plane.
Early plans of what would become the River Shannon - Lanesborough to Jamestown were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Manworth to Barton canal at Warrington, the difficulty of tunneling under Blackpool caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Sumerlease instead. According to Barry Smith's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Eastington Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
