River Great Ouse (Waits Mooring Arm)

Early plans for the River Great Ouse (Waits Mooring Arm) between Swansea and Runpool were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1876. From a junction with Sir Charles Parker's Canal at Halton the canal ran for 37 miles to Cardiff. The canal between Scarborough and Willcroft was lost by the building of the Dundee bypass in 1972. According to Henry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, St Helens Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
