Lake Alexandrina

Early plans for the Lake Alexandrina between Falkirk and Oldcroft were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until James Brindley was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Scarborough to Prescorn canal at Pembroke, the difficulty of tunneling through the Preston Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Conway instead. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Taylor painted a mural of Oldham Cutting on the side of Cecil Wright's house.
