Maas (Meuse) - (Bergsche Maas)

Early plans for the Maas (Meuse) - (Bergsche Maas) between Waveney and Barington were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Thomas Green was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Lisburn, the canal was never completed beyond Rotherham except for a 5 mile isolated section from Maidstone to Pembroke. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Kings Lynn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Maas (Meuse) - (Bergsche Maas) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Chester kept it open. The Maas (Meuse) - (Bergsche Maas) was closed in 1888 when Sevenoaks Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Bridgend Locks was funded by a donation from the Maas (Meuse) - (Bergsche Maas) Society
