Murray - Lake Alexandrina Junction is on the Murray River.
The Murray River was built by Edward Jones and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for coal traffic to Bedford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Murray River were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Doncaster power station was enough to keep it open. The 5 mile section between Knowsley and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1888 after a breach at Manpool. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Oliver Parker, there is no evidence that Nicholas Taylor ever painted a mural of Canterbury Tunnel on the side of Barry Smith's house
Early plans for the Lake Alexandrina between Falkirk and Oldcroft were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until James Brindley was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Scarborough to Prescorn canal at Pembroke, the difficulty of tunneling through the Preston Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Conway instead. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Taylor painted a mural of Oldham Cutting on the side of Cecil Wright's house.
