SJ6150 : Llangollen Canal north-west of Ravensmoor in Cheshire
taken 9 years ago, near to Ravensmoor, Cheshire East, England
Llangollen Canal north-west of Ravensmoor in Cheshire
Looking north through the arch of Halls Lane Bridge (No 12), an accommodation Bridge which also carries a public footpath which crosses adjacent fields.
The Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal starts by the River Dee at Llantysilio and leads to the main line at Hurleston Junction, a distance of 46 miles, with twenty-one locks. Water is supplied from the River Dee to the canal, and on to Hurleston Reservoir, a source of domestic water supplies. This results in a noticeable flow of water from west to east; unusual in a canal.
The Llangollen Canal was started in 1795, but not completed for many years. It was eventually absorbed by the Shropshire Union Company in 1846.
