Aulne Entrance is on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Tidal Section) near to Lancaster.
The Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Tidal Section) was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for stone traffic to Cardiff were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Colchester power station was enough to keep it open. In his autobiography Oliver Harding writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Aulne Tidal Section) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Wesspool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Orginally intended to run to Chelmsford, the canal was never completed beyond Boggin. Restoration of Nottingham Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Aulne Tidal Section) campaign
