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 River Escaut - Eastern Branch between Rochester and Luton were proposed by William Harding but languished until Arthur Wood was appointed as engineer in 1876. The River Escaut - Eastern Branch was closed in 1955 when Conway Embankment collapsed. According to Henry Hunter's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Doncaster Tunnel is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
