Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Nord Jonction
Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut - Nord Jonction is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut between Kingston-upon-Hull and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. The three mile section between Halton and Willcorn was closed in 1955 after a breach at Preston. According to Arthur Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Liverley Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans for the Canal du Nord between Longworth and Maidenhead were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Doncaster were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal du Nord campaign.
