Ulverston Canal

Ulverston Canal, Ulverston, Cumbria.
Designed by the famous architect, John Rennie, this was the shortest, straightest, widest and deepest canal in England when it was opened in 1796. It was built to accommodate large ships from the Irish Sea and provide Ulverston with its own port. The canal was officially closed in 1945. The John Barrow Monument on Hoad Hill can be seen in the distance.
