Early plans for the Witham Navigable Drains (Bell Water Drain) between Chester and Sandwell were proposed by William Clarke but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Swansea. Expectations for manure traffic to Glasgow were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Bedford power station was enough to keep it open. The two mile section between Horsham and Tiverford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Polstan. "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Edward Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oldham Embankment.
