Shropshire Union Canal at Brewood, Staffordshire
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Shropshire Union Canal at Brewood, Staffordshire. There are good moorings here at Brewood, though it is a popular pleasant village with good pubs, so the moorings can be fully used in popular times in the summer.
The canal was built by Thomas Telford. He started work in 1826 and the canal opened in 1835, shortly after his death. He attempted to minimise the distance by adopting straight lines wherever possible, so his canal includes many long embankments, and cuttings (as here at Brewood). It was persistent collapse and other construction difficulties at the massive mile long embankment at Shelmore (ten miles north-west of here) that caused the delay. Note: August 2009. The canal has again been closed for several weeks due to problems with the Shebdon embankment, six miles north-west of here. |
