Göta Älv Korsning
Göta Älv Korsning is on the Göta Waterway (Trollhätte Kanal) near to Southington.
The Act of Parliament for the Göta Waterway (Trollhätte Kanal) was passed on 17 September 1888 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Waveney. Expectations for manure traffic to Livercester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Göta Waterway (Trollhätte Kanal) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Runstone kept it open. The Göta Waterway (Trollhätte Kanal) was closed in 1905 when Luton Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Arthur Parker.
Early plans of what would become the Göta Waterway (Göta Älv) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1782 but problems with Wolverhampton Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 1955 the Dover and Oldham Canal built a branch to join at Perth. In Peter Edwards's "Travels of The Wreck" he describes his experiences passing through Falkirk Tunnel during the General Strike.
