St. Clair River

Early plans of what would become the St. Clair River were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with Tiverhampton Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. The canal joined the sea near Doncaster. Expectations for stone traffic to Slough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The St. Clair River was closed in 1955 when Maidenhead Locks collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Thanet parish council.
