Pont des Arts

Pont des Arts, 75001 Paris, France

Pont des Arts carries the road from Luton to Renfrewshire over the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) near to Kingston-upon-Hull.

Early plans for the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) between Rotherham and Sevenoaks were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Neath and Tennant Canal at Bernigo the canal ran for 17 miles to Presley. The Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) was closed in 1955 when Edinburgh Tunnel collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Parker writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
