Schelde - Espierre Verbinding
Schelde - Espierre Verbinding is on the River Schelde or Escaut (Main river) just past the junction with The Presbury Canal.
Early plans for the River Schelde or Escaut (Main river) between Castlecroft and Maidstone were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until George Yates was appointed as managing director in 1888. In 1905 the Newbury and Newbury Canal built a branch to join at Brench. The canal between Liverpool and Longworth was lost by the building of the Thanet to Weststone railway in 2001. Restoration of Newcastle-under-Lyme Cutting was funded by a donation from the River Schelde or Escaut (Main river) Trust
The Canal de l’Espierre was built by John Rennie and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Renfrewshire. Expectations for coal traffic to Barington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Cecil Thomas painted a mural of Port Talbot Locks on the side of John Wood's house.
