Runcorn and Weston Canal Junction is on the River Weaver (Main Line) near to Crewe Embankment.
Early plans of what would become the Runcorn and Weston Canal were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Glasgow Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Restoration of Wigan Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Runcorn and Weston Canal campaign
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith
