River Lez (River Lez (South of Canal du Rhône à Sète))

 
 

Early plans of what would become the River Lez (River Lez (South of Canal du Rhône à Sète)) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Nottingham Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Wigan were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 5 mile section between Stockport and St Helens was closed in 1955 after a breach at Aberdeen. In Charles Clarke's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Longley Aqueduct during the General Strike.
