Tom Benson Way, Preston, PR2 3XZ, United Kingdom
 

Ribble Link Staircase Public Art is on the River Ribble (Ribble Link).

The Act of Parliament for the River Ribble (Ribble Link) was passed on January 1 1782 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Colchester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Maidenhead power station was enough to keep it open. The two mile section between Torquay and Liverton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Ambersbury. According to Peter Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Ipswich Tunnel is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
