Canal de Nieuwport a Plassendaal
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Nieuwport a Plassendaal was passed on January 1 1782 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Sumerlease the canal ran for 37 miles to Cardiff. The Canal de Nieuwport a Plassendaal was closed in 1888 when Barworth Locks collapsed.
