Tub Boats to Ketley

7.9 We explore the long lost line of the Shropshire Canal from its junction with the Shrewsbury / Donnington Wood Canal to Oakengates, and then explore the Ketley Canal to the site of the UK's first operational Inclined Plane.

Nice one again Andy

Another very enjoyable instalment of Telford's old tub boat canals, this has been a great series, the drone footage along the way has been great to watch and gives a modern understanding of the line of the canals, thank you for your efforts, highly appreciated!

Glad you are enjoying it - finding gaps in all the rain / wind is proving a bit of a challenge!

I do like how you find bits and pieces in the end of your story.. the Incline story is quite interesting.. Thanks Andy! Cheers..

Glad you enjoyed it - During lockdown I actually built a scale model of the incline to see how it worked. Possibly not my finest video but here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2OqYYqYatyqj5I

Brill. Looking forward to listening to you visiting Coalbrookdale. Plenty of incline evidence to see and tunnels and shafts!

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

I ran out of time to finish the series - it always seemed to be raining, snowing or blowing! I will return to complete it in the autumn.

Very interesting Andy ,will you be including the incline plane at Coalport 🤔

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

Absolutely - The plan is to get to the Hay Incline in the next but one video and round it off with a look at the carrying traffic on the River Severn.
