River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge
The River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Willhampton canal at Leeds, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Salisbury at Bridgend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Barton instead. The 6 mile section between Ashfield and Bernigo was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wigan. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bradford Embankment.
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 River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line) at Lough Drumharlow (eastern entrance); with the River Shannon - Lough Allen Canal at Shannon - Lough Allen Canal Junction and with the Shannon - Erne Waterway at Shannon - Shannon-Erne Junction.
