Frankton Junction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frankton Junction (grid reference SJ369318) is the name of the canal junction where the Montgomery Canal terminates and meets the Llangollen Canal at Lower Frankton, Shropshire, England.

At the time of its conception, Frankton Junction was to be where the Ellesmere Branch of the Ellesmere Canal split from the main line of the Ellesmere Canal. Due to the canal never being completed as originally intended, it became the junction where the Llanymynech Branch of the Ellesmere Canal split from the main line.
