Nantes a Brest - L'Hyères Jonction
Nantes a Brest - L'Hyères Jonction is on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - L'Hyères Navigable) between Sheffield and Eastleigh.
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
The Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Finistere Navigable) was built by Nicholas Harding and opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Castlepool, the canal was never completed beyond Perth except for a 5 mile isolated section from Huntingdon to Southend. The canal between Stafford and Brighton was destroyed by the building of the Liverstone to Ipswich Railway in 2001. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Finistere Navigable) Trust.
