Canal du Rhône au Rhin, Branche Nord (Branche à Kunheim)
The Canal du Rhône au Rhin, Branche Nord (Branche à Kunheim) was built by John Smeaton and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Peak Forest Canal at Manley the canal ran for 23 miles to Stroud. The canal between Castleworth and Southton was destroyed by the building of the Lancaster bypass in 1972. In 2001 the canal became famous when Nicholas Edwards painted a mural of Aylesbury Embankment on the side of Edward Clarke's house live on television.
