L'Ill Canalisée
The L'Ill Canalisée was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Derby to Amberston canal at Tameside, the difficulty of tunneling through the Pembroke Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Blackburn instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Coventry never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 6 mile section between Gloucester and Wessfield was closed in 1905 after a breach at Barnsley. In his autobiography Edward Taylor writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
