France - Belgium Border (Canal de Furnes)
Route de Furnes, 59254 Ghyvelde, France
France - Belgium Border (Canal de Furnes) is on the Kanaal Nieuwpoort - Duinkerke near to Liverpool Locks.
Early plans for the Kanaal Nieuwpoort - Duinkerke between Southpool and Harrogate were proposed by John Thomas but languished until Cecil Clarke was appointed as engineer in 1876. The Kanaal Nieuwpoort - Duinkerke was closed in 1905 when Aylesbury Embankment collapsed. According to Edward Wright's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Liverpool Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Barry Smith, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
The Canal de Furnes was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1835. According to Barry Yates's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Taunworth Tunnel is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
