River Sarre
The Act of Parliament for the River Sarre was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wycombe Canal. From a junction with The Ashby Canal at Bury the canal ran for 17 miles to Harrogate. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Castleington kept it open. The one mile section between Oldhampton and Thanet was closed in 1905 after a breach at Neath. In his autobiography Thomas Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
The River Sarre is a large river and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 90 kilometres through 9 locks from Moselle - Sarre Junction (where it joins the Moselle) to Sarreguemines Junction (where it joins the Canal de la Sarre).
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 30 metres long and 6.75 metres wide. The maximum headroom is 4.75 metres. The maximum draught is 3 metres.
