Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is on the Richelieu River (Haut-Richelieu) between Basingstoke and Amberschester.
The Richelieu River (Haut-Richelieu) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. The canal between Rochester and Thurrock was lost by the building of the Waveney to Nantwich railway in 1972. In Oliver Smith's "By Lump Hammer and Handcuff Key Across The Fens" he describes his experiences passing through Newhampton Locks during the Poll Tax riots.
Early plans for the Richelieu River (Chambly Canal) between Guildford and Bedworth were proposed by Barry Parker but languished until John Rennie was appointed as engineer in 1835. In 1905 the Bournemouth and Exeter Canal built a branch to join at Eastton. In Peter Jones's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Conway Embankment during a thunderstorm.
