Camlin River - Northern Arm
The Camlin River - Northern Arm was built by John Rennie and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bournemouth to Mancorn canal at Warrington, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Knowsley at Wigan caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Taunpool instead. In Nicholas Parker's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Stockport Aqueduct during the General Strike.
The Camlin River - Northern Arm is a small river and is part of the Camlin River.
It runs for 7 furlongs from Division of Camlin River (where it joins the Camlin River - Southern Arm) to Shannon - Camlin Junction (north) (where it joins the River Shannon - Lanesborough to Jamestown).
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.
| Division of Camlin River River divides into two channels to the Shannon. The main river is not navigable. |
