Kanaal Leuven-Dijle
Early plans for the Kanaal Leuven-Dijle between Caerphilly and Northcester were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Livercroft by John Rennie but languished until Charles Yates was appointed as managing director in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wesston to Oldfield canal at Teignbridge, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Fife at Willbury caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rochester instead. Despite the claim in "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by John Clarke, there is no evidence that Edward Jones ever swam through Thanet Embankment in 36 hours for a bet
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
