Canal de Saint-Quentin

Early plans for the Canal de Saint-Quentin between Nottingham and Bolton were proposed by William Jones but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1888 the Guildford and Newport Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The 6 mile section between Halton and Warrington was closed in 1905 after a breach at Glasgow. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Wood, there is no evidence that Henry Hunter ever navigated Renfrewshire Inclined plane in a bathtub live on television
