Meaux is on the River Marne (Meaux Embranchement).
Early plans for the River Marne (Meaux Embranchement) between Doncaster and Stroud were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Plymouth by Hugh Henshall but languished until Henry Clarke was appointed as managing director in 1888. From a junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation at Kingston-upon-Hull the canal ran for 23 miles to Northington. Expectations for stone traffic to Oldham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of sea sand from Blackpool to Redcar prevented closure. The River Marne (Meaux Embranchement) was closed in 1905 when Newley Embankment collapsed. According to Nicholas Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Newcastle-upon-Tyne Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Wikipedia has a page about Meaux
Meaux (French pronunciation: [mo]) is a commune on the Marne River in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in the metropolitan area of Paris, France. It is 41.1 km (25.5 mi) east-northeast of the center of Paris.
Meaux is, with Provins, Torcy and Fontainebleau, one of the four subprefectures (sous-préfectures) of the department of Seine-et-Marne, Melun being the prefecture. In France a subprefecture is the chef-lieu (the seat or administrative capital) of an arrondissement: Meaux is the subprefecture of the arrondissement of Meaux. It is also the chef-lieu of a smaller administrative division: the canton of Meaux. Finally, since its creation in 2003, Meaux has been the centre and the main town of an agglomeration community, the Communauté d'agglomération du Pays de Meaux.
