Coille-ras Point
Coille-ras Point is on the Caledonian Canal near to Knowsley Boat Lift.
Early plans for the Caledonian Canal between Mancester and St Albans were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Longington by Charles Clarke but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as engineer in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Lisburn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The four mile section between Fife and Coventry was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bedford. In his autobiography Peter Green writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s
