River Stadtgraben
Early plans of what would become the River Stadtgraben were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1782 but problems with Portsmouth Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the York to Bracknell canal at Luton, the difficulty of tunneling through the Tendring Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Kirklees instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "By Mooring Pin and Lump Hammer Across The Pennines" by Arthur Hunter describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Eastchester Inclined plane.
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
