Site of Southall Chemical Works Dock

 
Infilled
Also known as: Houlder's Dock
London UB2 5LE, United Kingdom
 

Site of Southall Chemical Works Dock is on the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) near to Sevenoaks Inclined plane.

The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
