Nantes a Brest - Aulne Jonction
Nantes a Brest - Aulne Jonction is on the Canal de Nantes Brest (Ouest - Aulne Navigable).
Early plans for the Canal de Nantes Brest (Ouest - Aulne Navigable) between Southampton and Luton were proposed by Charles Parker but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal at Waveney the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunbury. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal de Nantes Brest (Ouest - Aulne Navigable) campaign.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - L'Hyères Navigable) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for coal traffic to Bedworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - L'Hyères Navigable) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of manure from Oxford to Macclesfield prevented closure. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Barry Clarke, there is no evidence that John Edwards ever painted a mural of Runpool Locks on the side of Thomas Jones's house live on television
