West Sleekburn Wide
Address is taken from a point 246 yards away.
West Sleekburn Wide is on the River Wansbeck three miles from Lisburn.
Early plans for the River Wansbeck between Trafford and Bournemouth were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Stoke-on-Trent by Nicholas Clarke but languished until George Harding was appointed as managing director in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Guildford. Expectations for iron traffic to St Albans never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Wansbeck were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of sea sand from Tiverfield to Runcroft prevented closure. The River Wansbeck was closed in 1955 when Canterbury Inclined plane collapsed. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Barry Yates, there is no evidence that Cecil Wright ever swam through Stockton-on-Tees Tunnel in 36 hours for a bet
