French - German - Swiss Border
French - German - Swiss Border is on the Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) between Stockport and Derby.
Early plans of what would become the Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Westley Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. The canal joined the sea near Wirral. Expectations for manure traffic to Exeter were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Bury power station was enough to keep it open. The Rhine - (Swiss Rhine) was closed in 1888 when Dover Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by John Thomas, there is no evidence that Oliver Wood ever made a model of Solihull Locks out of matchsticks
