Wardle Canal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wardle canal is the shortest canal in the UK at 154 ft.[1]
It lies in Middlewich, Cheshire, UK, and connects the Trent and Mersey Canal to the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union canal, terminating with a single lock known as Wardle Lock. It was built in 1829 so that the operators of the Trent and Mersey Canal could maintain control over the junction.
