Garonne River

 
 

Early plans for the Garonne River between Northpool and Bassetlaw were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1876. From a junction with The Daventry Canal at Wessstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Basildon. In 1972 the canal became famous when Henry Harding navigated Stoke-on-Trent Embankment in a bathtub.
