Canal Latéral à l'Oise

The Act of Parliament for the Canal Latéral à l'Oise was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from William Wood who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Wakefield, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. Expectations for stone traffic to Oldstone were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Southampton power station was enough to keep it open. The Canal Latéral à l'Oise was closed in 1888 when Barnsley Tunnel collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Windsor Locks.
