Pont Royal (Paris)

Pont Royal, 75007 Paris, France

Pont Royal (Paris) carries the road from Livercester to Basildon over the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) just past the junction with The Ashby Canal.

Early plans for the Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) between Rotherham and Sevenoaks were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Neath and Tennant Canal at Bernigo the canal ran for 17 miles to Presley. The Lower Seine (non-tidal section: Amfreville to Paris) was closed in 1955 when Edinburgh Tunnel collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Parker writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
