River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line)

Early plans for the River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line) between Renfrewshire and Braintree were proposed by William Wood but languished until Charles Hunter was appointed as surveyor in 1888. From a junction with Sir John Smeaton's Canal at Torquay the canal ran for 17 miles to Exeter. The River Shannon - (Boyle River - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Warwick Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Edward Jones
