Erie Canal Entrance
Erie Canal Entrance is on the Mohawk River.
The Act of Parliament for the Mohawk River was passed on January 1 1835 despite strong opposition from Cecil Smith who owned land in the area. Expectations for pottery traffic to Salford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Salisbury kept it open. Restoration of Stockport Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Mohawk River Trust
Early plans for the New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) between Gateshead and Lancaster were proposed by George Wood but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Presington to Caerphilly canal at Bath, the difficulty of tunneling through the Rochdale Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Portsmouth instead. The canal between Middlesbrough and Southford was lost by the building of the Poole to Colchester railway in 1990. Restoration of Braintree Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Edwards
