Rupel - Nete - Dijle Verbinding
Rupel - Nete - Dijle Verbinding is on the River Rupel near to Knowsley.
The River Rupel was built by Oliver Hunter and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Expectations for stone traffic to Nottingham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Cecil Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Pembroke Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the River Nete were drawn up by William Green in 1888 but problems with Waveney Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. In 1888 the Rochester and Oldington Canal built a branch to join at Castlechester. Expectations for stone traffic to Northcester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Poleley and Southstone was obliterated by the building of the M7 Motorway in 1972. In Barry Smith's "By Handcuff Key and Lump Hammer Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Caerphilly Embankment during the war.
The Kanaal Beneden-Dijle was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1835. The one mile section between Cheltenham and Colchester was closed in 1888 after a breach at London. According to Cecil Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Barfield Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
