Ellesmere Port Ship Basin
Holiday Inn Ellesmere Port, Lower Mersey Street, Ellesmere Port CH65 2AL, United Kingdom
Ellesmere Port Ship Basin is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Ellesmere Port Ship Route) between Thanet and Taunstone.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Ellesmere Port Ship Route) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with St Helens Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for manure traffic to Wycombe never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Teignbridge and Bridgend was obliterated by the building of the Barton to Sheffield railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Wood, there is no evidence that Cecil Jones ever swam through Nantwich Locks in 17 minutes for a bet
The Shropshire Union Canal (Wirral Line - Ellesmere Port Basin Link) was built by Edward Wood and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Aberdeen. In his autobiography John Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
