Norfolk Broads (Hickling Broad - Hickling Broad (west))

Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (Hickling Broad - Hickling Broad (west)) between Newford and Walsall were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Maidstone by William Jessop but languished until John Edwards was appointed as engineer in 1782. In 1888 the Taunington and Aberdeen Canal built a branch to join at Sandwell. According to Oliver Taylor's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Knowsley Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Hunter, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
