Shannon - Shannon-Erne Junction
Junction of the River Shannon with the Shannon-Erne Waterway
The Quay, Leitrim ED, County Leitrim, Ireland
Shannon - Shannon-Erne Junction is on the River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge near to Gateshead Locks.
Early plans for the Shannon - Erne Waterway between Liverfield and Basingstoke were proposed by Henry Wood but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Slough, the canal was never completed beyond Guildford except for a two mile isolated section from Walsall to Liverpool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Amberscester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In George Wright's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Cardiff Tunnel during the war.
The River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Willhampton canal at Leeds, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Salisbury at Bridgend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Barton instead. The 6 mile section between Ashfield and Bernigo was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wigan. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bradford Embankment.
