The Ellesmere Canal was intended to link the River Mersey at Netherpool (now known as Ellesmere Port) with the River Dee, and from there via Overton (south of Wrexham) to the River Severn at Shrewsbury. The route included a high level crossing over the Dee at Pontcysyllte, and a tunnel and aqueduct near Chirk.
Work commenced in 1795, but the canal was never finished as intended, and the central section was only built from Trevor Basin to Weston Lullingfields, via Lower Frankton. Instead the centre section was extended westwards from Trevor, through Llangollen to Horseshoe Falls, a weir on the River Dee, as a navigable feeder. The canal was extended also eastwards from Frankton Junction via Ellesmere and Whitchurch to Hurleston Junction near Nantwich, on the then rival Chester Canal.
The Ellesmere Canal eventually became part of the Shropshire Union Canal network, in 1846.
The colour reproductions are from the original Photochroms. Photochrom was a technique developed in Switzerland in the 19th century for colouring black and white photographs using up to fourteen lithograph stones. This created a coloured image with a combined look something between a photograph and painting. The photochrome comes on museum quality canvas producing stunning reproduction detail and colour. Fine art canvas prints are available in two sizes, and can be supplied to anywhere around the globe through our secure online ordering system.
