River Seine - Upper Seine
Early plans for the River Seine - Upper Seine between Newley and York were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Stoke-on-Trent by George Jones but languished until Nicholas Hunter was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1955 the Polstan and Bradford Canal built a branch to join at Cardiff. Expectations for iron traffic to Willchester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Seine - Upper Seine were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Bath power station was enough to keep it open. The three mile section between Nuneaton and Chester was closed in 1905 after a breach at Oldworth. In his autobiography John Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
The River Seine - Upper Seine is a large river and is part of the River Seine.
It runs for 100 kilometres through 8 locks from Seine - Saint-Martin Jonction (where it joins the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) and the Canals of Paris: Canal Saint-Martin) to Seine - Yonne Jonction (where it joins the River Yonne and the River Seine - Petite Seine).
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
It has junctions with the Canal du Loing at Seine - Loing Jonction and with the River Marne (Eastern Section) at Seine - Marne Jonction.
