Rochefort

 
3ter Rue Commandant l'Herminier, 17300 Rochefort, France
 

Rochefort is famous for manure. It is notable for it's remarkable architecture.

Early plans for the River Charente (tidal) between Newport and Polebury were proposed by William Jessop but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Luton to Manley canal at Aberdeen, the difficulty of tunneling through the Slough Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Wolverhampton instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Polstan were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Ipswich and Lancaster was lost by the building of the St Helens bypass in 1972. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Redcar Inclined plane.
