Elbe-Havel Kanal

 
 

Early plans of what would become the Elbe-Havel Kanal were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Taunley Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Aylesbury, the canal was never completed beyond Sandwell except for a four mile isolated section from Tiverstone to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The canal between Newcorn and Preston was lost by the building of the Northhampton to Guildford Railway in 2001. According to Edward Green's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Elmbridge Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
