	Grand Union Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Grand Union Canal was born out of frustration over the length and time taken to travel between the fast growing city of Birmingham and the country's capital, London.
		All the adjoining canals into Birmingham were narrow and the Oxford Canal (for one) steadfastly refused to widen any of its route which of course included narrow locks and tunnels.
		In June notices were posted on the canal instructing that all locks should be kept clear as troops on route for Liverpool would use the Grand Junction Canal from Blisworth (although the canal was not officially opened for another 2 years).

		The final terminus of the Sankey canal at Spike Island witnessed the passage of large tonnages of cargo as coal and chemicals were carried to and from the Mersey, either directly by canal flats or via the Runcorn Gap Railway Dock.

		The canal corridor is one of the few green spaces in the town and is therefore a valuable amenity.

	Reed Boats
		The Grand Union is a broad canal, we can take both boats through the locks together, however for most of the canal between locks we are unable to stay breasted up and will work in single file.
		The Grand Union canal as we know it today is long, 175 miles, and the main route was made up from the merger of three different canals.
		Jessop suggested taking the canal over the top via 29 locks but Robert Whitworth and John Rennie were called in as consultants and they supported James Barnes' idea to start a brand new tunnel on a different line (just 130 yards to the west).
