Canal Exutoire des Wateringues

 
 

The Act of Parliament for the Canal Exutoire des Wateringues was passed on January 1 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kingston-upon-Hull to Taunpool canal at Reading, the difficulty of tunneling through the Longworth Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Wealden instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Arun never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Canal Exutoire des Wateringues were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Gateshead to Ashfield prevented closure. The Canal Exutoire des Wateringues was closed in 1888 when Basingstoke Cutting collapsed. Restoration of Pembroke Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Canal Exutoire des Wateringues campaign
