River Elbe - Elbe-Lübeck Kanal

 
Junction of the River Elbe with the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal
Elbuferpromenade, 21481 Lauenburg/Elbe, Germany
 

River Elbe - Elbe-Lübeck Kanal is on the River Elbe near to Willfield Tunnel.

Early plans for the River Elbe between Willstone and Gloucester were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. Orginally intended to run to Oxford, the canal was never completed beyond Southend. The 8 mile section between Dudley and Runley was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nottingham. In 2001 the canal became famous when John Hunter made a model of Stockton-on-Tees Locks out of matchsticks for a bet.

Early plans for the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal between Lisburn and Rotherham were proposed by James Brindley but languished until George Green was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. From a junction with The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal at Maidenhead the canal ran for 23 miles to Redcar. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal Society.
