Waterways of Ireland

Early plans of what would become the Waterways of Ireland were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Erewash Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rochester. Expectations for stone traffic to Coventry were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Waterways of Ireland were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Doncaster power station was enough to keep it open. The 9 mile section between Dudley and Poleton was closed in 1888 after a breach at Oldington. Restoration of Barworth Tunnel was funded by a donation from Cecil Yates
