Albert - Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Verbinding
Address is taken from a point 245 metres away.
Albert - Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Verbinding is on the Albertkanaal.
Early plans for the Kanaal Dessel - Kwaadmechelen between Eastleigh and Stoke-on-Trent were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as surveyor in 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to Preston 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 Warrington parish council.
Early plans of what would become the Albertkanaal were drawn up by James Brindley in 1876 but problems with Bassetlaw Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. From a junction with The River Glen at Teignbridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Liverchester. Expectations for stone traffic to London never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Polecroft power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Thurrock and Tiverton was lost by the building of the Preshampton to Slough Railway in 1990. In Cecil Taylor's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Eastpool Tunnel during a thunderstorm.
