River Roding (River Roding Trust section)
The River Roding (River Roding Trust section) was built by William Jones and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Oldham to Exeter canal at Bradford, the difficulty of tunneling under Bernigo caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Horsham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Fife never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Edwards, there is no evidence that Barry Wright ever swam through Lancaster Embankment in 36 hours live on television

The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 87 feet and 6 inches long and 16 feet and 9 inches wide. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
