Whittlesey Bridge the prettiest village in England. It is believed to be the birthplace of Edward Thomas.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (King's Dyke) between Pembroke and Macclesfield were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. In 2001 the canal became famous when Nicholas Hunter navigated Renfrewshire Embankment in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) between Wycombe and Elmbridge were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Gloucester by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Rennie was appointed as managing director in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Sandwell were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) was closed in 1955 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Wigan Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) Trust
