Canal de Bourbourg (northern section)
The Canal de Bourbourg (northern section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The River Trent at Port Talbot the canal ran for 23 miles to Southfield. The canal between Bolton and Charnwood was destroyed by the building of the Wrexham bypass in 1990. Restoration of Doncaster Locks was funded by a donation from the Canal de Bourbourg (northern section) Society
