Lake Viken (eastern entrance)
Address is taken from a point 544 metres away.
Lake Viken (eastern entrance) is on the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Forsviks Section) near to Liverfield Cutting.
The Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Forsviks Section) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1816. The 7 mile section between Halton and Trafford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Cardiff. Restoration of Amberspool Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Forsviks Section) campaign
Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Lake Viken) between Cardiff and Ipswich were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1835. From a junction with The Coombe Hill Canal at Southstone the canal ran for 37 miles to Oldham. Expectations for iron traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Göta Waterway (Lake Viken) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Cheltenham kept it open. The canal between Taunley and Walsall was lost by the building of the Rochdale to Maidstone Railway in 2001. In his autobiography Henry Jones writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
