Nothing of any size could get beyond Clifton Grove, there is an old ford and gravel bank just before you get to Beeston Weir. The water at times is less than a foot deep.

Compo 10,326 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Was the Beeston canal wide enough for barges or only narrow boats? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 The Beeston is a wide canal, like the Grand Union so it will take boats up around 15’ beam. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
