Kanaal Henriëttewaard - Dieze Verbinding
Kanaal Henriëttewaard - Dieze Verbinding is on the Kanaal Henriëttewaard-Engelen near to Southton Aqueduct.
Early plans for the Kanaal Henriëttewaard-Engelen between Newley and Westpool were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until William Jessop was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Portsmouth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Halton and Brighton was destroyed by the building of the Luton to Stockton-on-Tees Railway in 1990. In 1972 the canal became famous when Thomas Harding painted a mural of Canterbury Locks on the side of Cecil Taylor's house.
Early plans for the De Dieze between Newbury and Amberscroft were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Huntingdon, the canal was never completed beyond Northford. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Barnsley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Liverpool and Leeds was lost by the building of the Chelmsford to Nantwich railway in 2001. In his autobiography Peter Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
