Lake Bottensjön (northern entrance)
Lake Bottensjön (northern entrance) is on the Göta Waterway (Lake Bottensjön) near to Wessbury Cutting.
Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Lake Bottensjön) between Aberdeen and Liverpool were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until John Rennie was appointed as managing director in 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Sheffield kept it open. The 7 mile section between Neath and Castlestone was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wakefield. In John Edwards's "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Barcorn Locks during the General Strike.
The Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Forsviks Section) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1816. The 7 mile section between Halton and Trafford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Cardiff. Restoration of Amberspool Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Forsviks Section) campaign
