More Canals

There are hundreds of miles of canals in the UK not to mention those abroad. This page has some photographs of canals I have visited but not covered comprehensively...yet!

The Trent and Mersey Canal | Llangollen Canal

The Trent & Mersey Canal

In 1766 the Trent and Mersey Canal Act was passed and the canal opened in 1777. It was successful with trade from the potteries, Josiah Wedgewood was one of the main backers for the project.
