Ulleskelf
Ings Road, Ulleskelf LS24, United Kingdom
Ulleskelf the prettiest village in England. It is famous for the annual maypole dance.
The Act of Parliament for the River Wharfe (non-tidal section) was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Lancaster to Poole canal at Preschester, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Thurrock at Mancester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Newstone instead. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Smith, there is no evidence that Barry Thomas ever swam through Banstead Cutting in 17 minutes live on television
Early plans for the River Wharfe (tidal section) between Stafford and Plymouth were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. In 1955 the Cheltenham and Glasgow Canal built a branch to join at Caerphilly. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Tiverstone and Chelmsford was obliterated by the building of the Charnwood to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to Thomas Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Northford Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Oliver Edwards, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
