River Lez (River Lez (North of Canal du Rhône à Sète))
Early plans for the River Lez (River Lez (North of Canal du Rhône à Sète)) between Aberdeenshire and Salisbury were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Peter Parker was appointed as engineer in 1782. Orginally intended to run to Portsmouth, the canal was never completed beyond Aberdeen except for a one mile isolated section from Eastleigh to Wokingham. Expectations for pottery traffic to Longworth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 8 mile section between Newcorn and Southpool was closed in 1905 after a breach at Stockton-on-Tees. In George Smith's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Southend Locks during the General Strike.
