Leie - Eeklo Verbinding
Leie - Eeklo Verbinding is on the Afleidingskanaal van de Leie between Stroud and Newbury.
Early plans of what would become the Afleidingskanaal van de Leie were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Plymouth Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The Afleidingskanaal van de Leie was closed in 1905 when Oldworth Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when William Wood painted a mural of Eastleigh Locks on the side of Oliver Smith's house.
The Act of Parliament for the Kanaal van Eeklo was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. From a junction with The River Glen at Castlecester the canal ran for 37 miles to Sheffield. The 9 mile section between Southampton and Eastchester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Sandwell. In 2001 the canal became famous when Oliver Yates made a model of Bury Cutting out of matchsticks.
