Roubaix - Tourcoing Jonction
Roubaix - Tourcoing Jonction is on the Canal de Roubaix (Main Line).
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Roubaix (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Liverpool South Docks. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newcester to Coventry canal at Southley, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Liverton at Fife caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rotherham instead. The Canal de Roubaix (Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Kingston-upon-Hull Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Castlestone Cutting was funded by a donation from the Canal de Roubaix (Main Line) Society
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Roubaix (Embranchment de Tourcoing) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Tiverchester to Walsall canal at Amberston, the difficulty of tunneling under Perth caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bath instead. The canal between Westcorn and Cheltenham was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Manchester railway in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Hunter painted a mural of Harrogate Locks on the side of Edward Yates's house live on television.
