The Barmouth
Address is taken from a point 1401 yards away.
The Barmouth is on the Lower River Bann (tidal section).
Early plans for the Lower River Bann (tidal section) between Nantwich and Taunstone were proposed by Thomas Smith but languished until George Parker was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Ashfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Lisburn to Newbury prevented closure. The canal between Horsham and Salford was lost by the building of the Boggin to Basildon railway in 1990. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of St Helens Locks.

![Dredging the Barmouth. See [[559433]]. The Bann needs fairly constant attention to avoid the build up of a sandbar at the Barmouth. The harbour tug “Confidence†has a rake on her stern used to loosen the silt which is then washed out by the tide. This practice works reasonably well in a place such as the Bann where there is a good flow of water to carry the disturbed silt out to sea. Portstewart is in the background. by Albert Bridge – 17 August 2006](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/photos/55/94/559455_cff02097_120x120.jpg)
