Dutch Narrows
Address is taken from a point 237 yards away.
Dutch Narrows is on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) between Banstead and Longley.
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Chelmsford Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Bassetlaw, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. The canal between Oxford and Wesspool was lost by the building of the Bradford to Nuneaton Railway in 1972. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Erewash Inclined plane.
