	The Neath and Tennant Canals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Thomas Dadford junior, who was working with his father and Thomas Sheasby as contractor for the Glamorganshire Canal, was asked to do the survey.
		By Mid 1792 Thomas Dadford Junior found it necessary to leave his post of General Surveyor, due to his being given the contract to build the Monmouthshire Canal.
		Boating on the canal is confined to those who can trail their boats, or to the public boat trips that are available either on the "Thomas Dadford", owned by the Neath and Tennant Canal Preservation Society, or the "Erlys Neath", belonging to West Glamorganshire County Council.

		The route had been surveyed by Thomas Dadford junior who preferred to build his locks grouped closely together in flights rather than build them at intervals all along the route.
		Dadford's recommended line from Brecon to Pontypool was 33 miles long and the scheme was also to include 3 tramways which would connect the canal to local industries.
		John Dadford (junior's brother) was appointed engineer on the first tramway on the Brecknockshire and Abergavenny "Canal".

	Untitled Document
		In 1789 the engineer Tomas Dadford Jr, was employed to survey the proposed route of the canal.
		Thomas Dadford carried out the survey and as a result revised his plans to include an extension of the canal as far as Kington, which would increase the total distance of the route to 46 miles and was estimated to cost £150,000.
		One reason why Dadford chose the final route may have been because Thomas Harley, the largest shareholder, wanted the canal to serve his own estates on the Berrington side of the valley.

		Thomas Telford took advantage of the new adjacent Plas Kynaston Foundry where William Hazeldine was casting the deck of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in 1805 to produce cast-iron arched ribs to support the elegant segmental arches of masonry of the two canal overbridges at the north end of the aqueduct.
		The deep cutting proposed by Telford for the new low summit-level of the Birmingham Canal Navigation necessitated the use of the early type of large-span cast-iron arched-bridge developed by Telford in association with the ironfounder William Hazeldine.
		In 1827 Thomas Telford opened a larger parallel tunnel which had a horse towpath and one-way traffic was introduced on both tunnels.

		Sloppy working practices such as poor smelting and the re-use of girders dropped into the sea during construction were factors in the bridge's collapse.
		As the engineer, Thomas Bouch was blamed for its collapse, however (his assistant Charles Meik merely left an impression that he "was aptly named").
		Sir Thomas Bouch, the railway engineer, is one of many famous people buried in Dean Cemetery.

	Black Delph Locks
		The original locks built in 1779 by Thomas Dadford Senior, engineer to the Dudley Canal Company, are just south of the present line and can still be seen among the trees and grassland.
		You can still observe today where the locks were affected by the subsidence caused by the mine workings where the steps at the tail end of lock No 2 have completely disappeared with few remaining at locks 3 and 4.
		These locks cut straight through the hillside where the original locks built in 1779 by Thomas Dadford, engineer to the Dudley Canal Company, followed the contours of the land.

	UK Waterways humour :ICE CANAL
		It might seem to be beyond the plans of the wildest canal pioneers to build a canal across Iceland, but Thomas Dadford Tertius, on a Grand Tour financed by his famous father and grandfather, took up Icelandic citizenship as the walruses reminded him of the natives of the frigid wastes of Essington and Perry Barr.
		However, given the chronic American inability to understand geography, they were reported as coming from Lapland rather than Iceland.
		Few know that Thomas Dadford Tertius was responsible for the origin of a modern myth, a myth made in Birmingham.

		It was agreed and in 1778 at Gilwern, engineer Thomas Dadford Junior began cutting towards Brecon, spanning the Clydach Gorge with a massive earthern aquaduct and, at Llangynidr, establishing a coal and lime trading centre.
		With Llangynidr's 5 locks, aquaduct and leat to the Crawnon River completed, Dadford built his Ashford Tunnel in a cutting, which was then filled in.
		Talybont-on-Usk's wide valley mouth was spanned by another aquaduct and Pencelli Castle ditch employed as a route.

		Whilst the Aberdare Canal mostly struggled throughout its 88 year existence, the Glamorganshire Canal which it fed into was, for a time, financially the most successful waterway in Britain.
		Although built on the cheap by the Merthyr ironmasters, it was a triumph of design, a tribute to the ability of its engineer Thomas Dadford.
		It qualifies as a contour canal, despite the fact it rose some 568 feet in its 25.5 mile length but Dadford's genius was not appreciated by his masters and he left the canal under a cloud.

		The impressive flight of locks climbing straight up the hill are part of the Dudley Canal and are known locally as the 'Ninelocks'; another apparent mystery since boaters will be pleased to discover that there are only eight.
		The original locks built in 1779 by Thomas Dadford, engineer to the Dudley Canal Company, are just south of the present line - their remains can be seen among the trees and grassland.
		Mining of the Thick Coal seam caused massive subsidence and in 1856 these locks had to be replaced.
