Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bridge 58: Gopsall Wharf from the South Authorised in 1794 the Ashby Canal was used for transporting coal well into the 20th century, despite an attempt by the railways to buy it and close it down.
Subsidence due to mining affected much of the canal resulting in part closures. In 1966 the Ashby Canal Association was formed first to prevent any more closures, then to reopen that which had been closed. In 1969 the Ashby Canal Association started to ship coal from Gopsall Wharf in an attempt to keep traffic on the canal. It lasted till 1978. As can be seen it now makes a quiet stopover for canal traffic en-route to Snarestone. |
