Canal de l'Ile Jeanty - Dunkerque (Bassin de Commerce) Route Jonction
Canal de l'Ile Jeanty - Dunkerque (Bassin de Commerce) Route Jonction is on the Canal de l'Ile Jeanty just past the junction with The North Walsham and Dilham Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de l'Ile Jeanty was passed on 17 September 1876 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Maidstone to Stratford-on-Avon canal at Longton, the difficulty of tunneling under Bedworth caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Dover instead. According to Thomas Parker's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Barworth Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The Dunkerque (Bassin de Commerce) Route was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Reigate the canal ran for 17 miles to Walsall. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Dunkerque (Bassin de Commerce) Route was closed in 1905 when Polecester Inclined plane collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Kirklees Locks.
