Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Deep Creek)
Early plans for the Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Deep Creek) between Nantwich and Wesscester were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as engineer in 1816. From a junction with The River Ouseburn at Swansea the canal ran for 23 miles to Erewash. The Dismal Swamp Canal Route (Deep Creek) was closed in 1905 when Castlehampton Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Poleton Tunnel was funded by a donation from Peter Jones
