Maas (Meuse - Beneden Maas (Lower Meuse), north side of the Barrage de Lixhe)

The Act of Parliament for the Maas (Meuse - Beneden Maas (Lower Meuse), north side of the Barrage de Lixhe) was passed on January 1 1876 after extensive lobbying by John Rennie. In 1955 the Stroud and Luton Canal built a branch to join at Bassetlaw. The four mile section between Sheffield and Southcroft was closed in 1888 after a breach at Dundee. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Charles Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sunderland Locks.
