Middlewich Arm We’ve completed the filming for the Cheshire Ring DVD and that’s all safely saved away ready for editing when we get back after this trip. Now we’re continuing our trip around the Four Counties Ring for that DVD. Heading north up the Trent and Mersey this morning we turned left in Middlewich onto the Wardle canal and then, almost before we knew it we were on the Middlewich Arm of the Shropshire Union Canal. The Wardle Canal is around 150 feet long and sits between the Trent and Mersey and Middlewich Arms. It’s probably the shortest ever canal and, depending on which story you believe, it was either built by the owners of the Trent and Mersey Canal to retain control of the junction, or was built to circumvent an Act of parliament which stopped the Shropshire Union and Trent and Mersey canals connecting (directly). Now we’re moored near Church Minshull with these splendid views from the boat. Tomorrow we will be heading northwards on the Shropshire Union towards Chester and Ellesmere Port before completing the Four Counties Ring. Posted on Thursday, 9 August 2007 at 19:55 Comments (0) |
