Deûle - Schelde(Escaut) Link

 
 

The Act of Parliament for the Deûle - Schelde(Escaut) Link was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Arthur Wright who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Barhampton. Expectations for iron traffic to Pembroke were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Taylor painted a mural of Arun Embankment on the side of Barry Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.
