Ellesmere Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (812 words) |
 | Duncombe's survey involved a climb of 92m (303ft) from Chester to Wrexham, a 4212m (4607 yard) tunnel at Ruabon, high level crossings over the Dee at Pontcysyllte, a further tunnel and aqueduct near Chirk, and a tunnel in Shropshire near Weston Lulligfields. |
| As the canal would now not reach its proposed main source of water northwest of Wrexham, a feeder was constructed along the side of the Dee valley to Llantisilio; this narrow feeder branch was made navigable, allowing boats to reach Llangollen and beyond. |
| Instead a 47 km "branch" via Ellesmere to the Chester Canal at Hurleston, finished in sections between 1797 and 1806, became the canal's only link with the rest of the waterways network, and became considered the main line. |
