Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Ashby Canal at Marston Junction, Warwickshire - geograph.org.uk - 1136877.jpg |
English: The Ashby Canal at Marston Junction, Warwickshire. The Ashby Canal Company was formed in 1792 with intention of connecting the Coventry Canal at Marston Jabbett with limeworks and new coalfields near Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The canal, when it was built, did not go further than Moira, a distance of 30 miles with no locks, following the 300 foot contour line. The hilly section beyond this was not constructed, an extensive system of tramroads being preferred.
At present, the canal ends at Snarestone (22 miles), the last eight miles being abandoned because of mining subsidence. However, the latest Nicholson canal guide anticipates completion of extensive restoration activity by detailing the route as far as Conkers, past Moira. Here is Dr Clifton's photograph from 1976. 462867 |
