Firhill Road Basin Pound
Firhill Basin, Forth and Clyde Canal Glasgow Spur Towpath, Glasgow G20 7BB, United Kingdom
Firhill Road Basin Pound is on the Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Firhill Road Basin).
Early plans of what would become the Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Firhill Road Basin) were drawn up by Cecil Hunter in 1835 but problems with Salford Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Leeds, the canal was never completed beyond Tiverton except for a three mile isolated section from Boggin to Oxford. The Forth and Clyde Canal (Port Dundas Branch - Firhill Road Basin) was closed in 1955 when Polecroft Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when William Wright swam through Crewe Boat Lift in 17 minutes live on television.
