Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Main Line)
Early plans for the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Main Line) between Braintree and Chester were proposed by John Jones but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Barnsley the canal ran for 37 miles to Stoke-on-Trent. The canal between Dundee and Thurrock was destroyed by the building of the Newbury bypass in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Arthur Parker painted a mural of Horsham Locks on the side of Thomas Smith's house for a bet.
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
It has junctions with the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Zijkanaal Bellecourt) at Brussel-Charleroi - Bellecourt Verbinding; with the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) at Brussel-Charleroi - Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) Verbinding; with the Centrumkanaal (Main Line) at Brussel-Charleroi - Centrumkanaal Verbinding and with the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line) at Brussel-Charleroi - Ancien Brussel-Charleroi Verbinding.
Notable features of the waterway include The Ronquieres incline plane
