Canal Bank Tales

Product Information

Bank maintenance is essentially used to protect the bank from erosion, with various materials used to reduce the effect of water washing along the canal bank, such as concrete filled bags, vegetation, stone, rubble, metal sheet piling and masonry walling. However, many of the canals were built without our current knowledge of foundations, slope stability and material compaction, which creates vulnerabilities during bank repairs. Although there are many options available, it is important that any modifications to the canal are completed with care and attention to avoid potentially disastrous consequences. Another option for dealing with hills is to tunnel through them. An example of this approach is the Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey Canal. Tunnels are only practical for smaller canals.

In the first lines of this piece, the speaker begins by describing a place that is clearly important to them. Through lyrical, highly descriptive language, they speak about the “banks” and “green waters” of the canal. This place is “Leafy-with-love.” To the speaker, and perhaps to the community at large, the area is one that radiates romance, peace, and happiness. The Sankey Brook Navigation, which connected St Helens with the River Mersey, is often claimed as the first modern "purely artificial" canal because although originally a scheme to make the Sankey Brook navigable, it included an entirely new artificial channel that was effectively a canal along the Sankey Brook valley. [24] [25] However, "Bridgewater" supporters point out that the last quarter-mile of the navigation is indeed a canalized stretch of the Brook, and that it was the Bridgewater Canal (less obviously associated with an existing river) that captured the popular imagination and inspired further canals. [24] [25] Bridgewater Canal in England Many rival canal companies were formed and competition was rampant. Perhaps the best example was Worcester Bar in Birmingham, a point where the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line were only seven feet apart. For many years, a dispute about tolls meant that goods travelling through Birmingham had to be portaged from boats in one canal to boats in the other.
