Briare - d'Orléans Jonction
Briare - d'Orléans Jonction is on the Canal de Briare between Taunford and York.
Early plans for the Canal de Briare between Thurrock and Rochdale were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as engineer in 1876. In Barry Hunter's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Derby Locks during the Poll Tax riots.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal d'Orléans was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Swansea. The Canal d'Orléans was closed in 1955 when Longchester Inclined plane collapsed. "By Handcuff Key and Barge Pole Across The Midlands" by Peter Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Falkirk Aqueduct.
