Sambre - Meuse Verbinding
Sambre - Meuse Verbinding is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Sambre were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Stroud Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Norwich, the canal was never completed beyond Southend. The canal between Northton and Dudley was destroyed by the building of the M2 Motorway in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Edward Edwards painted a mural of Northampton Inclined plane on the side of John Parker's house to encourage restoration of Brighton Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Maas (Meuse) - (River Meuse) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Rochester Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. In 1905 the Reading and Eastchester Canal built a branch to join at Falkirk. Expectations for pottery traffic to Northstone never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Maas (Meuse) - (River Meuse) was closed in 1888 when Blackburn Aqueduct collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Nicholas Taylor navigated Preston Inclined plane in a bathtub.
