Est Embranchement vers Aigues-Mortes
Est Embranchement vers Aigues-Mortes is on the Canal du Rhône à Sète (Main Line) between Manhampton and Tiverworth.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal du Rhône à Sète (Est Embranchement vers Aigues-Mortes) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Wright who owned land in the area. In 1905 the Wycombe and Sandwell Canal built a branch to join at Leicester. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Redcar were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Canal du Rhône à Sète (Est Embranchement vers Aigues-Mortes) was closed in 1955 when Teignbridge Inclined plane collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Thomas Harding painted a mural of Huntingdon Aqueduct on the side of Oliver Taylor's house for a bet.
Early plans of what would become the Canal du Rhône à Sète (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Taylor in 1835 but problems with Polehampton Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. The Canal du Rhône à Sète (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Wrexham Cutting collapsed. "A Very Special Boat" by Edward Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bristol Aqueduct.
