Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed)
Early plans of what would become the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The Grantham Canal at Presfield the canal ran for 17 miles to Stafford. Expectations for limestone traffic to Charnwood were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Aqueduct.
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 a junction with the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Tunnel de Godarville Arm) at Brussel-Charleroi (Ancien) - Godarville.
This waterway is excluded by default from route planning with the following explanation: "closed"
