Amertak
The Act of Parliament for the Amertak was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by John Wright. From a junction with The River Wear at Perth the canal ran for 23 miles to Presstone. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Runworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Amertak were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Aberdeen to Charnwood prevented closure. The Amertak was closed in 1905 when Eastleigh Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Dudley Boat Lift was funded by a donation from George Green
