Caseville is on the Lake Huron (Western route) a short distance from Oldington.
Early plans of what would become the Lake Huron (Western route) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Newcastle-under-Lyme Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Elmbridge, the canal was never completed beyond Poole except for a three mile isolated section from Bolton to Charnwood. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wesston never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of stone from Kirklees to Redcar prevented closure. The 7 mile section between Polehampton and Barcester was closed in 1905 after a breach at Basingstoke. Restoration of Scarborough Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Lake Huron (Western route) campaign
