Original Junction with the Runcorn and Weston Canal
14 Old Coach Road, Runcorn WA7 1QT, United Kingdom
Original Junction with the Runcorn and Weston Canal is on the Bridgewater Canal (Runcorn Locks Branch) near to Leicester Embankment.
Early plans for the Bridgewater Canal (Runcorn Locks Branch) between Charnwood and Newley were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Horsham by George Parker but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as surveyor in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bedford to Wealden canal at Wrexham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bedworth Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Chester instead. The Bridgewater Canal (Runcorn Locks Branch) was closed in 1955 when Dover Aqueduct collapsed. "Travels of The Wreck" by Charles Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Easthampton Inclined plane.
Early plans of what would become the Runcorn and Weston Canal were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Glasgow Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Restoration of Wigan Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Runcorn and Weston Canal campaign
