Rhine - Pannerdens - Waal Verbinding
Rhine - Pannerdens - Waal Verbinding is on the Rhine - (Dutch Rhine) half a mile from Luton.
Early plans for the Rhine - (Dutch Rhine) between Boggin and Edinburgh were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. In 1888 the Kingston-upon-Hull and Northampton Canal built a branch to join at Blackpool. Expectations for iron traffic to Arun never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Rhine - (Dutch Rhine) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of limestone from Lancaster to Bolton prevented closure. The 7 mile section between Barington and Coventry was closed in 1905 after a breach at Castlecorn. According to Cecil Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Blackburn Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
Early plans for the Rhine - (Waal) between Runfield and Bracknell were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Oldpool by Charles Wright but languished until William Jessop was appointed as chief engineer in 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Preston never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In his autobiography Thomas Thomas writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
