+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Which 4 canals made up James Brindley's Grand cross vision? Now lets see, canals. Ah got it The Dingwall Canal - although this is realy just the canalisation of the River Peffery for a harbour Spynie Canal - near Elgin from Loch Spynie to Lossiemouth Buchan Canal - from Inverugie to Howe of Rora Aberdeenshire Canal - Port Elphinstone to Aberdeen Can't think of any other canals, apart from the Union, Forth-Clyde, Paisley and Johnstone and of course the Caledonian canal. Are there others? Link to comment
+bargee Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 sorry guys, purple pinneapple got 2 out of 4 and archer got 1 out of 4. Brindleys vision was for the canal system to link the 4 great rivers of england. the Mersey, The Trent, The Severn and The Thames. This was achieved just after his death by the opening of 1. the Grand Trunk canal( The trent and Mersey), 2.The Staffordshire and worcestishire canal linking the T&M near stafford, and the severn at Stourport on severn 3 the oxford canal, linking Coventry and oxford and the Thames and 4. the coventry canal linking coventry and the trent and mersey all these were the early phase of canal building and completed by 1780 and created a cross of waterways with the black country and birmingham at its heart.
