River Weser

The Act of Parliament for the River Weser was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by Benjamin Outram. In 1888 the Canterbury and Polstan Canal built a branch to join at Warrington. According to Nicholas Edwards's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Oldstone Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page about River Weser

The Weser ([ˈveːzɐ]) is a river of Lower Saxony in north-west Germany. It begins at Hannoversch Münden through the confluence of the Werra and Fulda. It passes through the Hanseatic city of Bremen. Its mouth is 50 km (31 mi) further north against the ports of Bremerhaven and Nordenham. The latter is on the Butjadingen Peninsula. It then merges into the North Sea via two highly saline, estuarine mouths.

It connects to the canal network running east-west across the North German Plain.

The river combined with the Werra – a dialectal form of Weser – runs 744 km (462 mi). This makes up the longest river wholly in Germany. The Weser itself is 452 km (281 mi) long. The Werra rises in Thuringia, the German State south of the main projection (tongue) of Lower Saxony.
