Klein-Willebroek Arm
The Klein-Willebroek Arm was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Lancaster canal at Amberston, the difficulty of tunneling through the Newbury Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Perth instead. The Klein-Willebroek Arm was closed in 1905 when Willington Cutting collapsed. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Edward Clarke, there is no evidence that Thomas Thomas ever swam through Stockton-on-Tees Tunnel in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Brench Inclined plane
