Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Shelmore embankment near Norbury, Staffordshire. On the left the canal is supported by the mile long, tree covered Shelmore Embankment. While the contractors tried to complete the mighty task, the bank slipped and collapsed many times. By early 1834 this section was the only uncompleted part of the whole canal. It took five and a half years' continuous work and was finally finished in 1835, many months after Telford's death. There are flood gates at each end to close the channel in case of a breach.
Throughout its 175 year existence there have always been stability problems, and still are. The whole length is lined with mature trees now, and their roots do help. This was not the case in the canal's early years. More information: http://www.nce.co.uk/root-canal-work/793403.article |
