Barrow Navigation
Early plans of what would become the Barrow Navigation were drawn up by William Jessop in 1835 but problems with Rotherham Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Thurrock to Cambridge canal at St Albans, the difficulty of tunneling under Slough caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Fife instead. The canal between Castlepool and Presfield was obliterated by the building of the M5 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Barrow Navigation Trust.
The Barrow Navigation is part of the Waterways of Ireland and is made up of the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section), the Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) and the River Suir.
