Grand Canal - Main Line
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society
The Grand Canal - Main Line is a broad canal and is part of the Grand Canal.
It runs for 81 miles and 4¾ furlongs through 49 locks from Shannon - Grand Junction (where it joins the River Shannon - Portumna to Athlone) to Liffey - Grand Junction (where it joins the River Liffey).
